What the FDA AER plate says about Pyometra

Signature read: death-coded share at 20.0% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Pyometra. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 21 of 105 reports were death-coded (20.0% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Decreased mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (101). Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (25).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad 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.
