Association of immune-related adverse events with the outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer by Chiara Cremolini, Sara Lonardi, Filippo Pietrantonio, Francesca Corti, Elisabetta Fenocchio, Massimiliano Salati, Margherita Ambrosini, Michael J Overman, Lisa Salvatore, Rossana Intini, Priya Jayachandran, Javier Ros, Maria Elena Elez, Marwan Fakih, Aakash Tushar Shah, Rosalba Miceli, Monica Niger, Vincenzo Nasca, Giacomo Mazzoli, Francesco Barretta

“…Of note, the irAEs were summarized using a ‘burden score’ constructed in a way that the same score value could be obtained by cumulating many low-grade irAEs or few high-grade irAEs; as a result, the lower the burden the better. Clearly, the irAE burden is not a baseline information, thus it was modeled as a time-dependent variable in univariable and multivariable Cox models.Results Among 331 patients, irAEs were reported in 144 (43.5%) patients. …”
