Unresponsive to stimuli: high death-coded share in the FDA AER plate
Signature read: 597 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Unresponsive to stimuli in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 1,696 named reports in the openFDA extract. Death-coded share is upper-third: 597 of 1,696 reports (35.2% of named reports). Nearest volume peer: Application site lesion (±3 reports). Lead species Dog (1,306). Lead co-reported drug Milbemycin Oxime + Spinosad (161).
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.
