Annual Numbers of Adverse Event Reports and Rates of Events per Procedure. AlemzadehHoma RamanJaishankar LevesonNancy KalbarczykZbigniew IyerRavishankar K. 2016 <p>The left Y-axis corresponds to the bars showing the absolute numbers of adverse events (based on the years that reports were received by the FDA). The right Y-axis corresponds to the trend lines showing (in logarithmic scale) the annual number of adverse events per 100,000 procedures (based on the year the events occurred). Numbers on the bars indicate number of deaths reported per year. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals for the proportion estimates. Because of the small number of injury and death events reported for 2004 and 2005, a combined rate was calculated for 2004–2006. Note that of all the events, 40 were reported as part of the articles or the legal disputes received by the manufacturer.</p>
