AERS Reporting by Healthcare Providers and Consumers by Year

(As of December 31, 2010) Back to AERS Statistics Main Page

These data describe information about the reporter – the person who submitted the report to FDA, or the person who submitted the report to the manufacturer (who then sent the report to FDA).  Physicians and pharmacists are the healthcare providers (HCP) who submit reports to FDA most frequently. Other Healthcare Providers include nurses, dentists and others. Consumer refers to any reporter who is not documented in the report as a healthcare provider. This figure includes only data where reporter information is known, and some adverse event reports may contain more than one reporter.

This figure illustrates the number of reports in AERS by type of reporter (Healthcare Professional [HCP] or consumer) since the year 2000 until the end of 2010.
