ADE classification

Okay kiddo, let me explain what ADE Classification is. ADE stands for Adverse Drug Event.

Sometimes when we take medicine, our body doesn't like it and we can have a reaction that makes us feel sick. That's called an ADE.

ADE Classification is a way for doctors and scientists to organize and talk about the different kinds of ADEs someone might have. They use categories like "Mild" for a reaction that isn't too bad or "Severe" for one that is really bad and might need special attention.

They also like to know what kind of symptoms someone might have with an ADE, like a rash or stomachache. This helps doctors to figure out what might be causing the problem and how to treat it.

So, ADE Classification is sort of like putting ADEs into groups so that doctors and scientists can understand them better and try to fix the problem.
