In the course of an analysis, certain facts might surface for a particular drug-event pair or certain findings might warrant comment. For example, based on the drug label, a treatment might be known to cause a particular
adverse event
. To remind yourself of this fact during future analyses, JMP Clinical enables you to highlight
Tree Map
cells and save comments for drug-event pairs. These comments are made available for viewing in subsequent analyses, such as when the database is refreshed with additional records.
Pushing the
Add Comment
drill-down button launches a
dialog
window so that a written comment can be saved to a data set for the selected cells from any
tree map
. Comments are saved to
pv_review_notes.sas7bdat
in the directory specified by the
Output Folder
in the
Disproportionality Analysis
input dialog. In order for these comments to be available for subsequent analyses, the
Input SAS Data Set
should reflect the most recent data while the
Output Folder
should not change. New drug-event pairs are added to the comment file on an ongoing basis.
Deleting
comments is made difficult on purpose. In order to do this, you must edit the
pv_review_notes.sas7bdat
data set directly.
