Myocarditis: high death-coded share in the FDA AER plate

Signature read: Myocarditis's 86.6% death-coded share is among the highest in the openFDA reaction corpus. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. Death-coded share is upper-third: 58 of 67 reports (86.6% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Application site burning sensation (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (27). Lead co-reported drug Monensin Sodium (12).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, A high death-coded share in FDA filings does not prove causation; co-reporting is voluntary temporal association only. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
