title: [Imputability of drug side effects].
abstract: By imputability it is meant the assessment of the probable responsability of a drug in the development of undesirable effect. Its principle is based on the evaluation of some criteria derived from observation (intrinsic imputability) or relevant literature (extrinsic imputability). Around ten imputability methods have so far been reported; although they are not comparable, personnel differences in evaluation may be avoided.
