1. A method for analyzing a relationship between an agent and one or more clinical outcomes, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of a first agent; receiving a selection of one or more clinical outcomes; analyzing, by a processor included in a computing device, clinical data stored in a database to determine a number of occurrences of each of the one or more clinical outcomes when the first agent is administered; calculating, by the processor, for the first agent, a first set of risk scores for each of the one or more clinical outcomes, wherein calculating the risk score for a clinical outcome includes measuring a statistical significance of a relationship between the first agent and the clinical outcome based on a total number of patients in an entire population, a number of patients to whom the first agent is administered, a number of occurrences of the clinical outcome when the first agent is administered, and a total number of patients in the entire population that experienced the clinical outcome; outputting the first set of risk scores to a graphical display device, wherein, for the first agent, a first risk score indicates that the first agent is not the cause of a first clinical outcome for a first sub-population that is a subset of the entire population; and generating a first hypothesis by the processor that is based on the first risk score that indicates that the first agent is not the cause of the first clinical outcome for the first sub-population. |
