What the FDA AER plate says about Dermal nodule

Signature read: 10 death-coded reports is the most distinctive absolute-outcome stamp on Dermal nodule. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 10 of 90 reports were death-coded (11.1% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Photophobia (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (78). Lead co-reported drug Oclacitinib Maleate (23).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Oclacitinib Maleate 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.
