What this record shows
16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC at 52.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,889, 4.9 times the $585 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics clinicians in NY 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
