Abbreviations: ELB, elbasvir; GRZ, grazoprevir; GT, genotype; HCV, hepatitis C virus; IDU, injection drug use; LED, ledipasvir; RBV, ribavirin; SIM, simeprevir; SOF, sofosbuvir.

aHigh-frequency IDU was defined by self-report of injecting crack/cocaine or methamphetamines in the last year before treatment initiation. Hazardous alcohol use was defined by self-report of consumption in the last year before treatment initiation resulting in AUDIT-C scores ≥3 for females or ≥4 for males.

bDiabetes was defined through clinical diagnosis or 2 consecutive measurements of fasting glucose ≥7 mmol/L or nonfasting glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L before treatment initiation. Kidney disease was defined as a single estimated glomerular filtration rate measurement ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 before treatment initiation.
