Model 1: 8030 individuals with HIV infection had available data on HCV status, age, and sex.
Model 2: 4521 individuals with HIV infection had available data on HCV status, age, sex, and decompensated liver disease.
Model 3: 4521 individual with HIV infection had available data on all the 22 variables included in model.
ALT: alanine transaminase; AST: aspartate transaminase; BMI: body mass index; CAD: coronary artery disease; CKD: chronic kidney disease; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; DLD: decompensated liver disease; PVD: peripheral vascular disease.
