Drug-induced liver injury: results from the hospital-based Berlin Case-Control Surveillance Study.

Aim: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is often responsible for acute liver failure, drug withdrawal, boxed warnings or drug non-approval. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study to determine the hepatotoxic risk of a wide range of drugs.

Methods: The Berlin Case-Control Surveillance Study FAKOS included all 51 Berlin hospitals in a hospital network.

Metamizole-induced agranulocytosis revisited: results from the prospective Berlin Case-Control Surveillance Study.

Purpose: Treatment with metamizole (dipyrone) has steadily increased in Germany over the last decade. The consequences of this increase for metamizole-induced agranulocytosis (MIA) are unclear. The present study addressed this topic using data from the Berlin Case-Control Surveillance Study.

The social nature of benevolent sexism and the antisocial nature of hostile sexism: Is benevolent sexism more likely to manifest in public contexts and hostile sexism in private contexts?
