Table 3.

Pairwise analyses of associations between dropout rate and phenotypes or genotypes for genes most significantly associated with dropout rate in prior analysis. PM = poor metabolizer; IM = intermediate metabolizer; EM = extensive metabolizer; S = short allele; L = long allele; OR = Odds Ratio, CI = Confidence Intervals. Higher odds ratios indicate a higher likelihood of a patient dropping out of treatment.
