  1. HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; ERC, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; PSC, primary sclerosing cholangitis; AIHOLS, autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome; DS, dominant stenosis.
  2. The data show prospective factors predicting the development of biliary candidiasis. In the univariate analysis, the presence of dominant stenosis, number of ERCs, and age at diagnosis of PSC were associated with biliary candidiasis. In the multivariate analysis, only the number of ERCs and age at diagnosis of PSC reached significance (p < 0.05, bold).
