NOTE. Predictors based on demographic and clinical information at onset or baseline selected by clinical judgment, univariate logistic regression with P value <.10, and with <50% missing data. Odds ratio should be interpreted based on 1-unit increase unless otherwise indicated with a magnitude of unit increase. “Malignancy” refers to lifetime history of cancer and “active malignancy” delineates the subgroup of patients with a malignancy requiring treatment at the time of DILI onset. Similarly, “heart disease” refers to lifetime history of cardiac disease and “active heart disease” refers to subjects with a cardiac condition requiring treatment at the time of DILI onset.
