Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.2% of the total across 106 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Astellas Pharma US Inc at 31.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $858 and has fallen 96.1% since, to $33 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in MS, where the typical reported total is $3,535.
Across 106 payments — averaging $20.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
