a

Treatment for genotype 1 patients was based on a combination of sofosbuvir and ledipasvir

b

Non-cirrhotic patients are defined as those having fibrosis scores F0–F3, and cirrhotic patients are defined as those having a fibrosis score F4

b

Probability of cost-effectiveness at a $50 000 willingness-to-pay threshold using probabilistic sensitivity analysis

c

Probability of cost-effectiveness at a $100 000 willingness-to-pay threshold using probabilistic sensitivity analysis

d

Overall results were estimated using the weighted average by representative proportion of the HCV population in the United States.
