- For inclusion a minimum number of 500 was required for ‘all age’ cohorts and a minimum number of 250 patients for paediatric cohorts. As discussed in the text, it should be recognised that studies which report 0 cases of TINU may do so due to (1) a true rarity in that population, (2) non-reporting of diagnosed cases (eg studies marked with a ‘+’ include the listing of ‘other diagnoses’ which could potentially include TINU cases), or (3) underdiagnosis
- *Includes ‘possible’ as well as ‘probable’ and ‘definite’ cases
