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 Notes 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.
