Supratherapeutic drug concentration triggers: A novel data‐driven approach to assess their value for medication safety surveillance in intensive care

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Electronic triggers (e‐triggers) are used as screening signals to detect potential adverse drug events (ADEs) and offer an effective system level approach for medication safety surveillance. Their clinical utility is typically evaluated through time‐consuming manual chart review by experts, limiting implementation.

The use of codeine during breastfeeding can rarely be associated with serious adverse effects related to genetic polymorphisms affecting codeine's metabolism and disposition. Clinicians treating infants of breastfeeding mothers should be aware of this rare but potentially serious complication.
