|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline Predictors of AKI on DAAs | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P |
| Age, per 10 yr | 1.14 (0.81–1.6) | 0.46 | ||
| Sex (female vs. male) | 0.70 (0.31–1.6) | 0.38 | ||
| Race (white vs. nonwhite) | 0.85 (0.39–1.9) | 0.69 | ||
| Diabetes (vs. nondiabetic) | 1.50 (0.69–3.3) | 0.31 | ||
| Cirrhosis (vs. noncirrhotic) | 2.93 (1.3–6.5) | 0.009 | 2.32 (1.0–5.4) | 0.051 |
| Hypertension (vs. nonhypertensive) | 2.19 (1.01–4.8) | 0.048 | 1.62 (0.73–3.7) | 0.24 |
| HIV co-infection | 0.38 (0.07–2.0) | 0.26 | 0.43 (0.08–2.3) | 0.33 |

| DAA course length (>12 wk vs. ≤12 wk) | 2.03 (0.94–4.4) | 0.07 | 1.61 (0.73–3.6) | 0.24 |
| Baseline eGFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 | 3.25 (1.4–7.6) | 0.007 | 3.02 (1.3–7.3) | 0.014 |
AKI, acute kidney injury; CI, confidence interval; DAA, direct-acting antiviral; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
The multivariable model includes demographics and predictors with P < 0.3 in the univariate model. Only presence of cirrhosis and baseline eGFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 predicted the development of AKI while on DAAs in multivariable models. Prolonged DAA course was defined as >12 weeks of treatment.
