Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 348 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Tris Pharma Inc at 24.6% of the total. 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 348 payments — averaging $15.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
