Table 3. Uni-variate analysis of factors associated with significant fibrosis (TE ≥ 7.1 kPa) according to logistic regression forward step-wise likelihood quotient in the whole cohort (n = 333).

Variable Unadjusted OR (95% CI) p-value
HCV positive 5.7 (3.4–9.7) <0.001
ddI 3.3 (1.7–6.5) <0.001
AZT 2.1 (1.2–3.4) 0.012
more than two different cART-regimes 1.9 (1.1–3.1) 0.004
Smoking 2.1 (1.2–3.6)
Fatty liver diagnosis in ultrasound 1.8 (1.1–2.9) 0.04
HIV<40c/ml 0.5 (0.3–0.9) <0.001

TE = transient elastography; kPa = kilopascal; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; HCV = hepatitis C virus; ddI = didanosine; AZT = azidothymidine; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; HBV = hepatitis B virus; c/ml: copies/milliliter
