Table 2.
Distribution of adverse liver events. Values are numbers (percentages)
| Recorded hepatic event | Definite cases | Probable cases | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raised liver function test results | 279 (83) | 557 (85) | 836 (85) |
| Jaundice | 53 (16) | 83 (13) | 136 (14) |
| Hepatitis | 7 (2) | 12 (2) | 19 (2) |
| Liver failure | 0 | 1 (<1) | 1 (<1) |
| Liver necrosis | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Other* | 5 (1) | 8 (1) | 13 (1) |
Patients with more than one recorded hepatic event during same episode are included in all relevant categories, therefore counts cannot be summed to equal total patients.
*Mostly procedural—for example, liver biopsy.
