What the FDA AER plate says about Haematemesis

Signature read: 151 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Haematemesis in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 785 named reports in the openFDA extract. 151 of 785 reports were death-coded (19.2% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Eyes rolling back (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (706). Lead co-reported drug Carprofen (153).

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