CADEC

CSIRO Adverse Drug Event Corpus (Cadec) is a rich annotated corpus of medical forum posts on patient reported Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). This corpus is useful for those studies in the area of information extraction, or more generically text mining, from social media to detect possible adverse drug reactions from direct patient reports.\nLineage: The corpus is sourced from posts on a medical forum called AskaPatient. Annotations contain mentions of concepts such as drugs, adverse events, symptoms, and diseases linked to their corresponding concepts in controlled vocabularies, i.e., SNOMED Clinical Terms, AMT and MedDRA. The quality of the annotations is ensured by annotation guidelines, multi-stage annotations, measuring inter-annotator agreement, and final review of the annotations by a clinical terminologist. \n
