Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 181 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Aytu Biopharma, Inc. at 32.5% of the total. Among pediatrics clinicians in LA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
