Table 4.
Adjusted Hazard Ratios for the Risk of Death Among Those With Chronic Hepatitis B or C Reported to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene During 2001–2012 by Hepatocellular Carcinoma and HIV Status
| Hepatitis B | Hepatitis C | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted HRa | 95% CI | Adjusted HRa | 95% CI | |
| No HCC, no HIV | Reference | - | Reference | - |
| No HCC, HIV | 7.86 | 7.21–8.58 | 2.61 | 2.50–2.72 |
| HCC, no HIV | 6.95 | 6.14–7.87 | 3.79 | 3.55–4.05 |
| HCC and HIVb | ||||
| 6 mo | 10.65 | 4.96–22.89 | 2.89 | 1.96–4.25 |
| 12 mo | 17.00 | 9.76–29.62 | 4.00 | 3.02–5.59 |
| 60 mo | 50.32 | 33.02–76.66 | 8.52 | 7.13–10.18 |
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; HR, hazard ratio.
aHazard ratios adjusted for gender, year of hepatitis diagnosis, age at hepatitis diagnosis, and neighborhood poverty level.
bDue to an observed violation in the proportional hazards assumption, hazard ratios for individuals with HCC and HIV compared with those with neither are presented separately at different time points after hepatitis diagnosis.
