Classification of reaction:
Confirmed or definite - The reaction occurred or was noted after administering the drug (patient challenged), caused or deminished (patient improved) when the drug was stopped (patient rechallenged), and reacured when the drug was readministered (patient rechallenged). A known association of the reaxtion with the drug (eg. reports in the literature) supports this classification
Likely - Same as confirmed but the patient was not rechallenged
Possible - The reaction appeared to be due to the drug (eg. most other causes have been ruled out) and is known to be associated with the drug (i.e. the reaction is listed in the package insert or has been reported in the literature...
Unlikely or doubtful- There is reason to believe that another drug or cause is responsible for the reaction or there is no support for associating the reaction with the suspected drug.

Severity of reaction:
Serious - The reaction required immediate stoppage of the drug and initiation of supportive treatment ( i.e. generally life-threatening or harmful) or continued to death or disability
Moderate - The reaction required a significant reduction in dosage, required stoppage of the drug, or caused an extension of stay at the facility.
Negligible - The reaction required little or no treatment and no change in therapy, did not require stoppage of the drug, and did not extend the stay in the facility.
