Systems and methods for quantification and presentation of medical risk arising from unknown factors
Example methods of quantifying known and unknown risks of an adverse drug event in an individual based on various factors are disclosed. In some embodiments, factors include known drug-drug interactions and unknown phenotypes of cytochromes. Quantification may be based on severity of the adverse drug event/and or probability of occurrence in some embodiments. Example methods of displaying the quantified risk are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the risk of individuals is aggregated to display the risk of a population.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein quantifying the expected effect on metabolism of the at least one drug comprises compiling a matrix of expected effects by evaluating a plurality of interactions between the at least one drug and the certain factors.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with executable instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving identification of at least one drug;
selecting certain factors affecting exposure of an individual to the at least one drug;
quantifying an expected effect on metabolism of the at least one drug by the individual due to the certain factors by;
identifying one or more possible values of at least one certain factor; and
weighting the expected effect using each of the one or more possible values based on a matrix of probabilities of phenotypes;
generating a numerical representation of risk based at least in part on the expected effect by weighting a severity of the expected effect;
displaying the numerical representation of risk in an interaction report;
pooling a respective numerical representation of risk associated with the at least one drug for each patient of a patient population, wherein the patient population includes the individual;
determining that one or more patients in the patient population are recommended for genetic testing based on the respective numerical representation of risk for each of the one or more patients; and
displaying a genetic testing recommendation chart indicating a portion of the patient population, the portion of the patient population comprising the one or more patients in the patient population recommended for genetic testing.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying aggregate risk data representative of the patient population.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying the aggregated risk data in an unmanaged interaction risk chart segmented based on a severity of risk of an adverse drug event occurring, wherein unmanaged interaction risk is associated with the numerical representation of the risk and comprises a known risk, an unknown risk, or both that has not been acted upon by an individual or a medical care provider.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying the aggregated risk data in the genetic testing recommendation chart.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a change in the unmanaged interaction risk over time.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the certain factors include a drug metabolizing enzyme, a glucuronosyltransferase enzyme, or a transporter protein.
14. A system comprising:
a memory comprising instructions stored thereon; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
quantify an expected effect of a drug on an individual due to certain factors by:
identifying one or more possible values of at least one of the certain factors; and
weighting the expected effect using each of the one or more possible values based on a matrix of probabilities of phenotypes;
generate a numerical representation of risk based at least in part on the expected effect by weighting a severity of the expected effect;
determine an unmanaged interaction risk associated with the drug for a patient population, the patient population including the patient, based on the numerical representation of the risk;
pool the unmanaged interaction risk for the patient population;
determine that one or more patients in the patient population are recommended for genetic testing based on a value of the unmanaged interaction risk for each of the one or more patients being more than a predetermined threshold;
display an unmanaged interaction risk chart segmented based on a severity of risk of an adverse drug event occurring; and

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to display a risk-reduction effect of missing genetic data in response to a user toggling the unmanaged interaction risk chart or the genetic testing recommendation chart, wherein the risk-reduction effect is based on performing genetic testing, modification to a treatment, or change in medication.
