HCV: hepatitis C virus; SD: standard deviation; HAI: histologic activity index.
*95% CI, −0.105 to 0.211%; P = 0.020, Wilcoxon Gehan test.
†Worst fibrosis staging per patient using the modified scoring system of Ishak et al. [19] in which a score of 6 is complete fibrosis. Central evaluation of nonprotocol biopsies and protocol biopsies (at 6 and 12 months) was used to assess fibrosis score.
‡Worst histological HCV grading per patient using the modified HAI grading [14]. Central evaluation of nonprotocol biopsies and protocol biopsies (at 6 and 12 months) was used to assess HAI grading.
§95% CI (Greenwood formula) for the difference in 12-month patient survival was −0.227 to −0.019%, P = 0.025.
¶Local evaluation of biopsies. P = 0.048, chi-square test comparing the numbers of patients.
