Bayesian Case Series
Bayesian case series is an observational epidemiological method that applies Bayesian inference to case series data — typically records of patients who experienced both a drug or vaccine exposure and an adverse health event. By incorporating prior evidence and computing posterior estimates of the incidence rate ratio within pre-specified risk windows, the method quantifies the strength of a temporal association between an exposure and an outcome while controlling for fixed individual-level confounding.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
