Numbers reported were only in patients that presented with GI symptoms and therefore not included in analysis.

b

Median values in patients without GI symptoms were ALT 21.5 (15–32.8), AST 24.4 (19–32) and bilirubin 9.6 (7.0–13.1). Median age of patients without GI symptoms was 45.09 (SD 14.45) All laboratory data is presented as median (IQR), except for Pan et al., and Luo et al., which are presented as mean ± SD.
