Positive criteria: ROR, a≥3 and lower 95% CI>1; PRR, a≥3, PRR≥2 and chi-square≥4; BCPNN, IC025>0; MGPS, EBGM05>2. CI, confidence interval; EBGM, empirical Bayes geometric mean; IC, information component; PRR, proportional reporting ratio; ROR, reporting odds ratio. All disproportionality metrics in this table are derived from spontaneous reporting data and reflect the strength of reporting signals rather than actual clinical incidence or risk.

Bold values indicate that the corresponding algorithm-specific signal-detection criterion was met.
