Data Sources and Methodology:

  • MDDetails leverages company-reported financial transaction data disclosed through CMS Open Payments. This data set captures all transfers of value (e.g., speaking fees, consulting fees, travel, education, and meals) made on behalf of a drug or device manufacturer to a physician. Currently, 30 months of longitudinal data is available – covering payments to more than 800,000 U.S. healthcare professionals.
  • Over 127,100 paid interactions across 40,900 physicians made on behalf of Symbicort were carefully examined to support our analysis. In addition, interaction data from 22 peer products (e.g. Advair Diskus, Aerospan, Anoro Ellipta, Arnuity Ellipta, Asmanex, Breo Ellipta, Brovana, Combivent Respimat, Daliresp, Dulera, Flovent, Incruse Ellipta, Nucala, Perforomist, ProAir, Qvar, Spiriva Respimat, Stiolto Respimat, Striverdi Respimat, Tudorza, Ventolin HFA, and Xolair) was leveraged to provide benchmarking and market insights.
