In addition, among the 30 drugs with the strongest correlation with PE, most of which are Biologics & Immunomodulators. Therefore, when using these 30 drugs, it is necessary to be alert to the possible risk of PE.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In our study, we filtered 30 common drugs that could cause PE through the FAERS public database, which provides theoretical support for drug selection in the treatment of malignant tumors and IMID.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55247,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Respiratory Journal","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/crj.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
