Abbreviations: SJS, Stevens-Johnson syndrome; RF, Random Forest; SD, standard deviation; IC, information component; ADR, adverse drug reaction; NA, not applicable.

a Information component (IC) is a disproportionality frequency measuring the number of SJS reports lower than or higher than expected in VigiBase.

b Number of articles in Medline matching the search terms [drugname] AND “Stevens-Johnson syndrome” [MeSH] OR “erythema multiforme” [MeSH] OR “epidermal necrolysis, toxic” [MeSH] Filters: Humans (as of Februrary 2013).

c Hypersensitivity reaction although SJS was not explicitly mentioned.
