Hiatus hernia Reaction Insights

13 reports name Hiatus hernia; 6 recorded a death outcome (46.2% of reported events, not a population-level mortality rate). VeDDRA code: 1524.

By species: Dog (10 reports), Cat (3 reports). By breed: Domestic Shorthair (3), Bulldog - French (2), Schnauzer - Miniature (1).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, co-reporting reflects temporal association captured in voluntary submissions, not proof that a drug caused this reaction. A widely-prescribed drug will rack up more raw co-reports at an identical true rate than a rarely-used one, so compare within similar-exposure products.
