What the FDA AER plate says about Panniculitis
Signature read: death-coded share at 17.2% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Panniculitis. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 20 of 116 reports were death-coded (17.2% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Droopy ear (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (98). Lead co-reported drug Carprofen (18).
