Calculi: high death-coded share in the FDA AER plate
Signature read: 51 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Calculi in the CVM extract. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. Death-coded share is upper-third: 51 of 199 reports (25.6% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Anal and rectal disorder NOS (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (143). Lead co-reported drug Trilostane (17).
Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, A high death-coded share in FDA filings does not prove causation; co-reporting is voluntary temporal association only. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
