Abstract: Objective To discuss the application of capture-recapture (CR) method in the assessment for the incidence of ADR, and get a more accurate monitoring of the incidence of ADR, in order to provide thought and references for the promotion of ADR monitoring in China.Methods Using the mathematical statistics method to review the principle, and application condition of CR method, and through the case-analysis,it is revealed the role of CR method in the incidence of ADR estimation and some problems about CR method.Results & ConclusionCR method is appropriate for many big databases which can monitor different incidence of ADR.It is the effective method that can estimate the total incidence of ADR and make sure of the incidence of adverse reactions, which is worthy of applying in the research of ADR monitoring.

Key words: capture-recapture method, adverse drug reaction, incidence of adverse reaction
