Figure 3. Difference in life years if HCV is treated pre-LT versus post-LT in patients with decompensated cirrhosis on the transplant waiting list.
The error bars represent 95% confidence interval generated by probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Patients having MELD ≤ 27 will benefit from pre-LT HCV treatment (shown by the shaded region)
Abbreviations: LT, liver transplant; MELD, model for end-stage liver disease; HCV, hepatitis C virus.
