Pharmacovigilance PRR/ROR

Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) and Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) are statistical methods for detecting safety signals in spontaneous adverse event reporting databases. Developed and formalized by researchers in the early 2000s, these measures identify drug-adverse event associations that warrant further investigation.
