The Naranjo algorithm is a questionnaire designed by Naranjo et al[1] for determining the likelihood of whether an ADR (adverse drug reaction) is actually due to the medication rather than the result of other factors. Probability is assigned via a score termed definite, probable, possible or doubtful.

An alternative, simpler scale has been proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO).[2][3]

Questionnaire

1. Are there previous conclusive reports on this reaction?

Yes (+1) No (0) Do not know or not done (0)

2. Did the adverse event appear after the suspected drug was given?

Yes (+2) No (-1) Do not know or not done (0)

3. Did the adverse reaction improve when the drug was discontinued or a specific antagonist was given?

Yes (+1) No (0) Do not know or not done (0)

4. Did the adverse reaction appear when the drug was readministered?

Yes (+2) No (-1) Do not know or not done (0)

5. Are there alternative causes that could have caused the reaction?

Yes (-1) No (+2) Do not know or not done (0)

6. Did the reaction reappear when a placebo was given?

Yes (-1) No (+1) Do not know or not done (0)

7. Was the drug detected in any body fluid in toxic concentrations?

Yes (+1) No (0) Do not know or not done (0)

8. Was the reaction more severe when the dose was increased, or less severe when the dose was decreased?

Yes (+1) No (0) Do not know or not done (0)

9. Did the patient have a similar reaction to the same or similar drugs in any previous exposure?

Yes (+1) No (0) Do not know or not done (0)

Scoring

  • > 9 = definite ADR
  • 5-8 = probable ADR
  • 1-4 = possible ADR
  • 0 = doubtful ADR
