Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (49.4%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novo Nordisk at 39.7% of the total. Among surgery 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 535 payments — averaging $1813.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
