NOTE: HCV recurrence was determined with the Batts-Ludwig system and was defined as an HAI inflammation grade ≥ 3 and/or a fibrosis score ≥ 2.

*

At any point after the baseline.

n refers to the number of patients with histologically confirmed HCV recurrence. The percentages are based on the number of patients in each study arm.

The P values were calculated with the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel general association test, which was used to compare the prophylaxis and observation arms. The 95% confidence intervals were calculated with normal approximation.

§

n refers to the number of patients with histologically confirmed HCV recurrence, and X refers to the number of randomized patients. The percentages are based on the number of patients in each genotype group. Genotype data were missing for 1 patient in the observation arm.
