Patterns of Viral Response as Predictors of Sustained Viral Response in Children with Genotype 1 treated with Peginterferon plus Ribavirin or Peginterferon plus Placebo

Response % Achieving Response % With Response Achieving SVR PPV NPV
1 log drop - Week 1 64% 37% 0.37 0.63
RVR (no detectable virus) - Week 5 9% 100% 1.00 0.75
EVR (2 log drop) - Week 12 55% 56% 0.56 0.89

Notes: PPV = probability of SVR given earlier response NPV = probability of no SVR given no earlier response
