TABLE 5.
Total | ETR | SVR | Relapse | |
---|---|---|---|---|
LVL | 59 (55.14) | 44 (74.58) | 37 (62.71) | 7 (15.91) |
HVL | 48 (44.86) | 34 (70.83) | 28 (58.33) | 6 (17.65) |
Data presented as n (%). High virological load (HVL; serum hepatitis C virus [HCV] RNA level of greater than 600,000 IU/mL) and low virological load (LVL; serum HCV RNA level of 50 IU/mL to less than 600,000 IU/mL) were both determined using a sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction assay (Cobas Amplicor HCV monitor, version 2.0, Roche Diagnostics, USA, lower limit of quantitation = 50 IU/mL); ETR End-of-treatment response; SVR Sustained virological response
