What the FDA AER plate says about Cutaneous calcinosis

Signature read: 25 death-coded reports is the most distinctive absolute-outcome stamp on Cutaneous calcinosis. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 25 of 187 reports were death-coded (13.4% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Injection site weeping (see also Skin) (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (186). Lead co-reported drug Trilostane (223).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Trilostane appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
