What the FDA AER plate says about Neutropenia
Signature read: 409 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Neutropenia in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 2,374 named reports in the openFDA extract. 409 of 2,374 reports were death-coded (17.2% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Abnormal breathing (±7 reports). Lead species Dog (1,889). Lead co-reported drug Oclacitinib Maleate (631).
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.
