Start with the Product-Event Combinations page

On the Product-Event Combinations page, you can review comprehensive product-event information and statistics for a single or multiple products.

You access the Product-Event Combinations page from the Products page by selecting one or more products.

The Product-Event Combinations page appears.

Product Summary information (across the top): Product statistics appear here with the product name and Products By group, product group, percentage reviewed gauge, count of reviewed/total tracked alerts, the number of pending (unreviewed) alerts, product-event combinations associated with open topics (available if the signal configuration is integrated with Topics), and count of product-event combinations with comments.

Figure 2-7 Product Summary information


The Product Summary information section shows Acyclovir reviewed alert counts in a graph bar and broken down in totals

Note:

In Select Rows mode with multiple products selected, the summary includes the names of the selected products and the statistics includes the counts for all the selected products.
System Organ Class (SOC) cards: The cards represent the alerts grouped by MedDRA system organ class. The counts represent Reviewed/Total tracked alerts. Selection of a card filters the Product-Event combinations table. If you are in Select Rows mode with multiple products selected, the SOC cards show the sums of alerts across all the products selected.

All grouped tracked alert counts are organized as System Organ Class cards by MedDRA.

Note:

If you select an SOC card while in Select Rows mode with multiple product-event combinations selected you will exit Select Rows mode.

Product-Event Combinations panel and tabs: The Product-Event Combinations panel is a set of tables. When investigating a single product, there is a tab above the table for each active alert type. Selecting a tab changes the content of the Product-Event Combinations table. Because alert tabs are based on a particular review for a single product, you won't see alert tabs when you initially access a Product-Event combinations table for multiple products. However, you can add tabs and views to that table.

Product-Event Combinations panel and tabs.

Each Product-Event Combinations tab is associated with a view or alert type rule. The view or alert type rule determines the columns, rows, and sort order of the tab’s table. As you select a tab, a summary line appears below the row of tabs showing the number of combinations, the sort order, the number of rows per page, and the page number. You can add tabs, change pages, and customize the columns.

Columns and cells:

  • If the configuration is multisource, there can be columns for the Lead and Secondary configurations.
  • The Status column indicates if the product-event combination has been reviewed and if there is a topic for the product-event combination.
  • The Alerts column indicates which tracked alerts relate to the product-event combination in the most recent refresh. The icon color and letter were set up when the alert type was created and match the icons in the tabs. In the example above, F stands for Fatal and D for Designated Medical Event.
  • Click the hyperlinked (bold) value in a cell to display a menu to drill down to case-specific information. Menu items include:

Detail panel: The Detail panel on the right graphically depicts Recent History, Signal Statistics, Subgroup Statistics, and Associated topics for the selected product-event combination. Topics appear only if your configuration is integrated with Oracle Empirica Topics.

You can select View Cases or other actions related to case series and reports. You can show (Click to show details) or hide (Click to hide details) the sections in the Detail panel.

The sections include:
  • Recent History: Displays the most recent product-event alert and comment information plus up to two other rows of alert and comment information. It also includes a link to the Signal History page.
  • Signal Statistics: Displays two graphs: a line graph for the chosen statistic and a bar graph for the chosen count. You can update the graph by selecting a different statistic, count, or subgroup. If you are working with a multisource signal configuration, statistics from lead and secondary configurations are available. You can drill down to cases and generate reports from the bars in the bar chart.
  • Subgroup Statistics: Displays a doughnut chart of case counts for a subgroup, such as a Gender. You can update the graph by selecting a different subgroup. If you are working with a multisource signal configuration, statistics from the lead and secondary configurations are available. You can drill down to cases and generate reports from the sections of the pie chart.
