Popis: WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Haematological toxicities such as neutropaenia are a common side effect of ganciclovir (GCV); however, risk factors for GCV-induced neutropaenia have not been well established. Decision tree (DT) analysis is a typical technique of data mining consisting of a flow chart-like framework that shows various outcomes from a series of decisions. By following the flow chart, users can estimate combinations of risk factors that may increase the probability of certain events. In our previous study, we demonstrated the usefulness of this approach in the evaluation of adverse drug reactions. Therefore, we aimed to construct a risk prediction model of GCV-induced neutropaenia including severity grade. METHODS We performed a retrospective study at the Hokkaido University Hospital and enrolled patients who received GCV between April 2008 and March 2018. Neutropaenia was defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC)
