摘要
Background: Vaccines are administered differentially according to age and sex, and disease patterns also vary among people of different age and sex groups. Estimates of disproportionality should be calculated based on comparisons of groups that have a similar likelihood of receiving similar vaccines and experiencing similar adverse events, to prevent false disproportionality from occurring. Stratified empirical Bayesian (EB) methods have been compared with crude, but not stratified, proportional reporting ratios (PRRs) in their performance on adverse event data.
