  • Data in bold are significant (p < 0.05). Creatinine (mmol/l) = bilirubin (μmol/l).

  • 2-150 Unless otherwise stated.

  • 2-151 Number of sets used for CLR analysis.

  • 2-152 Convergence not possible.

  • 2-153 No patients in the SNHL group or the comparison group were administered vancomycin at the time of peak bilirubin levels.

  • SNHL, sensorineural hearing loss.
