Notes: The relative risk of an adverse event (AE) (robenacoxib/placebo) and 95% CI were estimated using a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with no correction for multiple tests. For blank cells, not applicable. Data are shown for every SOC. For PT, variables are shown only if AEs occurred in ≥3 cats (>1%) in either group or if highly relevant to nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (anemia, digestive tract hemorrhage, hepatopathy, increased blood urea nitrogen or creatinine, oliguria, polyuria, renal failure, renal insufficiency, or dehydration).

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NOS, not otherwise specified; PT, preferred term; SOC, system organ class.
