2 Figure 1 Flow chart of epidermal necrolysis patients included in the study by hospital and treatment. A total of 71 patients with a validated diagnosis of epidermal necrolysis were admitted to either of the participating burn units, University Hospital of Getafe (UHG) and La Paz University Hospital (LPUH). Patients from the region of Madrid (n = 42) were selected to take part in the “natural experiment”. All 71 patients were included in the observed versus expected analysis. CsA, cyclosporine; IVIg, intravenous immunoglobulin. Journal of Investigative Dermatology  , DOI: ( /j.jid ) Copyright © 2017 The Authors Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Forest plot of the meta-analysis. The observed and expected deaths reported by each study among patients treated with cyclosporine and the MRR (dark square) with 95% confidence interval (horizontal line) are shown. Studies are identified by first author and year of publication. In studies with zero observed deaths, a continuity correction factor of 1 was added to both the observed and the expected deaths (data not shown).The pooled results are shown in two strata: (i) the five studies found in the literature and (ii) all studies, including ours. The continuous vertical line represents the null value of the MRR; values located on the left are compatible with a mortality risk reduction and those located on the right with an increased risk. CI, confidence interval; MRR, mortality risk ratio. Journal of Investigative Dermatology  , DOI: ( /j.jid ) Copyright © 2017 The Authors Terms and Conditions
