  • * In the United Kingdom, included temporal arteritis, splenic infarction, pancreatitis, and orchitis. In Japan, included aortitis, necrotizing lymphadenitis, and prostatitis. P value was calculated by the chi-square test comparing United Kingdom and Japan. In those analyses where the expected frequency was < 5 in 1 or more cells, the p value was calculated by Fisher’s exact test. IP/fibrosis: interstitial pneumonia/pulmonary fibrosis; AH: alveolar hemorrhage; ENT: ear, nose, and throat.
