LOCF indicates last observation carried forward.

*

Derived from an ANCOVA model with treatment as factor and baseline LIC as covariate.

Estimates were obtained from a logistical regression model with treatment regimen and baseline LIC as explanatory variables.

Ratios greater than 1 favor deferasirox.
