What the FDA AER plate says about Monocytopenia

Signature read: 72 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Monocytopenia in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 374 named reports in the openFDA extract. 72 of 374 reports were death-coded (19.3% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Allergic pruritus (±1 reports). Lead species Dog (206). Lead co-reported drug Oclacitinib Maleate (75).

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.
