Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.6%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 54.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $5,180 and has fallen 83.5% since, to $856 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in CT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 204 payments — averaging $44.68 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
