Possible 25%‐49% likelihood drug was responsible. Evidence for drug is equivocal but present.
Probable 50%‐74% likelihood drug was responsible. Preponderance of evidence linking drug to injury
Highly likely 75%‐95% likelihood drug was responsible. Evidence for drug causing injury clear and convincing but not definite
Definite > 95% likelihood drug was responsible. Evidence beyond reasonable doubt for drug being causal
