Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Assessment of drug-related adverse events is essential to fully understand the benefit-risk balance of any drug exposure, weighing efficacy versus safety. This is needed for both drug labeling and clinical decision-making. Assessment is based on seriousness, severity and causality, be it more difficult to apply in neonates. Adverse event detection or prevention in the neonatal clinical setting is also more complicated because of polypharmacy, and off-label or unlicensed pharmacotherapy. AREAS COVERED: Tools became available to assess severity and causality of adverse events in neonates recruited in clinical trials. The first version of the Neonatal Adverse Event severity score (NAESS) reduced the inter-observer variability. Causality tools like the Naranjo score were also tailored to neonates. These tools are also instrumental to support proactive pharmacovigilance in clinical care, while multidisciplinary care teams and computerized pharmacovigilance using advanced data analysis, like machine learning are emerging approaches to develop effective decision strategies. EXPERT OPINION: All stakeholders involved in development of medicines or its clinical use should be aware of the limitations of the currently available assessment tools. Extension and optimization of these tools, advanced data analysis approaches, and capturing the variability in time-dependent physiology are warranted to improve pharmacovigilance in neonates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
