Findings: from the adverse event reports that FDA received
4 questions, each with a table
Each finding answers one question about all the reports. A program writes the sentences from the counts with fixed rules. A count of reports is not a measure of risk.
Read this first. FDA says this about the data:
An API dataset query result cannot be used to estimate the risk associated with the product or compare one drug or device product with another. When looking at the results, be aware that there is no certainty that the reported drug or device caused the adverse event. This dataset should not be the sole source of information for clinical decision-making or other assumptions about the safety or effectiveness of a product. The adverse event may have been related to an underlying disease, other drugs used at the same time or other non-drug related sources.
