The International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP), previously the European Society of Pharmacovigilance (ESOP), is an international non-profit scientific organisation, which aims to foster pharmacovigilance both scientifically and educationally, and enhance all aspects of the safe and proper use of medicines, in all countries.
Case reports have a role in pharmacovigilance. [5] They can also help understand the clinical spectrum of rare diseases as well as unusual presentations of common diseases. [4] They can help generate study hypotheses, including plausible mechanisms of disease. [4]
Because of the lack of these data and uncertainty about methods for synthesising them, individuals conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of therapeutic interventions often unknowingly overemphasise health benefit. [5] To balance the overemphasis on benefit, scholars have called for more complete reporting of harm from clinical trials. [6]
