Notes: ADRs are coded with the preferred terms of MedDRA/J (version 18.1). The figure beside each category of disease shows the number (%) of patients with the type of ADR, while the number of each ADR shows the number of incidents (in parentheses, the number of incidents over the total number of patients researched).

Abbreviation: ADRs, adverse drug reactions.
