Description
Summary:How do doctors impute adverse drug reactions (ADRs)? This operation, neither obvious nor natural, involves relevant health issues, particularly the report to the Adverse Drug Reporting System. No imputation implies no reporting and therefore, no drug control for the general population. Based on data from a qualitative research on medical management of ADRs in general medicine and oncology, this article points to how practitioners impute (or not) a reaction to a drug and the complex ways in which they recognize it or avoid it. After a description of collective and individual issues of the imputation process, the results of the study show the subtle or diverted forms in which ADRs are expressed: expected effects, drug toxicity or patient intolerance? How can doctors dare to express such an incertitude?
