Adjusted for age, gender, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, herpes zoster, tuberculosis, cancer, past 30 day injection drug use

a

Pre-specified primary outcome. All other outcomes considered secondary or exploratory

b

Values are mean percentages (standard deviation) unless otherwise specified

c

Represents mean percent difference (outcome was analyzed as log transformed variable)

d

Logistic regression results
