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
