---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Characteristics | Hepatotoxicity | Odds Ratio | 95% CI | P-value | ||
Yes (n=30) | No (n=380) | |||||
Hepatitis B surface antigen | ||||||
Negative | 23 (6%) | 361 (94%) | 1 | |||
Positive | 7 (27%) | 19 (73%) | 4.7 | 1.7–12.9 | 0.002 | |
Pretreatment AST/ALT† | ||||||
Normal | 15 (5%) | 312 (95%) | 1 | |||
Raised | 16 (16%) | 83 (84%) | 3.6 | 1.7–7.7 | 0.001 | |
B. Univariate logistic regression for the combined variable for raised pretreatment AST/ALT and HBsAg positive at baseline (N=410)* | ||||||
Neither raised AST/ALT nor HBsAg positive | 12 (4%) | 287 (96%) | 1 | |||
Raised AST/ALT only or HBsAg positive only | 13 (13%) | 87 (87%) | 3.4 | 1.5–7.3 | 0.003 | |
Both raised AST/ALT and HBsAg positive | 5 (45%) | 6 (55%) | 19.9 | 5.3–74.3 | <0.001 |
