Precision in Language Regarding Geographic Region of Origin in Severe Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reaction Research

In this study, the authors reported a subgroup analysis of severe cutaneous adverse reactions by geographic region of origin inclusive of Japanese, Malaysian, Taiwanese, Thai, and European individuals. The level of granularity in analysis and reporting conducted by Wu et al on the geographic region of origin of patients is an important reminder of the genetic and clinical variation that can exist within populations that are often racialized into large heterogeneous groups.
