a

Comparing SVR (sustained viral response) vs. NR (non-response).

b

For example, a relative risk of 1.18 for E1 in genotype 1a indicates that for one additional marked/poor response-specific unique variation in this gene, the probability of SVR is increased by 18%.

c

CI, confidence interval.

d

Poisson regression analysis.
