Abbreviations: QALY, quality-adjusted life years; SOF, sofosbuvir; oSOC, old standard of care; LDV, ledipasvir; ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; pCE, probability of cost-effectiveness.
Treatment for genotype 1 patients was based on a combination of sofosbuvir and ledipasvir
Non-cirrhotic patients are defined as those having fibrosis scores F0–F3, and cirrhotic patients are defined as those having a fibrosis score F4
Probability of cost-effectiveness at a $50 000 willingness-to-pay threshold using probabilistic sensitivity analysis
Probability of cost-effectiveness at a $100 000 willingness-to-pay threshold using probabilistic sensitivity analysis
Overall results were estimated using the weighted average by representative proportion of the HCV population in the United States.
