What the FDA AER plate says about Diabetes

Signature read: 157 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Diabetes in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 777 named reports in the openFDA extract. 157 of 777 reports were death-coded (20.2% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Skin and tissue infection NOS (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (614). Lead co-reported drug Trilostane (170).

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.
