A new prognostic model for drug-induced liver injury especially suitable for Chinese population

Drug-induced liver injury(DILI)is a rare side effect of drugs caused by all kinds of prescription or over-the-counter chemi-cals,biological agents,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),natu-ral medicine(NM),health products,dietary supplements and their metabolites,and even excipients,which can lead to jaundice,liver failure,or even death.Although it is rare in term of single drug,the occurrence of DILI in all liver injuries is not low due to the wide range of drugs and foods involved.Moreover,there was an increasing trend of incidence of DILI since 2010 worldwide,with Asian regions showing the highest incidence[1].
