activity with strong implications for population health and conducting clinical research. The overarching goal of PhV is the timely detection of adverse drug events (ADEs) that are novel in their clinical nature, severity, and/or frequency. Until recently, the core of PhV is based on the systematic collection of valid safety data through spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) that can be rigorously analyzed, interpreted, and acted upon as part of patient care. Data mining algorithms have been developed for the quantitative signal detection of ADEs from such databases. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) constitute an important problem in the development of new drugs and postmarketing PhV which contribute to 6-30% of all ADEs. This article, therefore, reviews studies in which novel mining approaches and/or nontraditional data sources have been proposed for signaling DDIs. The authors provide a focused review of recent methodological innovations and alternative data sources used to support DDIs detection in the postmarketing period. We do not aim to elaborately examine all relevant work. Instead, we presented a synopsis of basic concepts, then following by the involved data-mining algorithms (DMAs) covering the computation of their statistical models, contributions, and major findings from published literature with respect to DDIs. Regarding data mining methodologies, the review is organized according to data source axis. Finally, the authors presented some of the challenges related to the currently used mining algorithms and suggestions for further research for drug interactions (DIs) surveillance are offered.
