Potential risk factors for ILICI
| Risk factor | Authors | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| NASH | Sawada et al. [115] | Among 35 patients with grade 2 or higher ILICI by Cox hazard analysis |
| HCC | Sangro et al. [104] | May be explained by underlying metastatic liver disease |
|
Statins (4.7-fold) Younger age (2.7-fold to 4.9-fold) vs older age (> 70 years) Male gender (1.6-fold) Acetaminophen (2.1-fold) |
Cho et al. [116] | Korean study excluding HCC and elevated AST at baseline |
| Liver metastases? | Li et al. [117] | Overall, metastatic disease not a risk factor |
| Rechallenge with combination therapy of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1 | Miller et al. [99] | Rate of ILICI in combination therapy of an anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 (9.2%) compared with monotherapy with an anti-CTLA-4 (1.7%) or anti-PD-1 (1.1%) |
AST aspartate aminotransferase, HCC hepatocellular carcinoma, ILICI immune-mediated liver injury, NASH non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
