NOTE. Subtypes are ordered by HCV prevalence.

a

OR and 95% CI were estimated using unconditional logistic regression and a joint fixed-effects model, adjusted for age, sex, race, and study center.

b

Test of heterogeneity between study.

c

Other B-cell lymphoma includes small B-lymphocytic NOS (n = 30), mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (n = 28), large B-cell immunoblastic (n = 1), B-cell NOS (n = 87), Precursor B NHL (n = 27), other B NHL (n = 60), precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma (n = 2), hairy cell leukemia (n = 8), and lymphoblastic lymphoma (n = 1).
