Table 4.
Signal strength of top 20 vismodegib-associated AEs at the preferred term (PT) level in FAERS database. The unexpected AEs are marked with bold font and asterisks. ROR, reporting odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; PRR, proportional reporting ratio; χ2, chi-squared; IC, information component; IC025, the lower limit of 95% CI of the IC; EBGM, empirical bayesian geometric mean; EBGM05, the lower limit of 95% CI of EBGM.
