Details

Data are stored in the form of a contingency table, with drugs listed across the columns and the 69 AEs presented across the rows. Each cell in the contingency table represents the total report counts associated with that (AE, drug) pair and detected in the FDA FAERS database during 2021Q1 - 2024Q4.

The dataset catalogs 7 Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs) (across columns):

Gadobenate, Gadobutrol, Gadodiamide, Gadopentetate, Gadoterate, Gadoteridol, Gadoxetate.

The 69 adverse events presented across the rows are selected from 1328 AEs of gbca2025 which are related to the brain or neural system. Other AEs are collapsed to one reference row: "Other AEs".
