What the FDA AER plate says about Vertical nystagmus

Signature read: death-coded share at 21.6% is the most distinctive outcome stamp on Vertical nystagmus. Report volume sits in the middle third of the reaction corpus. 16 of 74 reports were death-coded (21.6% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Abnormal tail posture (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (64). Lead co-reported drug Bedinvetmab (13).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Bedinvetmab 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.
