HIV co-infection 0.38 (0.07–2.0) 0.26 0.43 (0.08–2.3) 0.33
Ribavirin use 1.01 (0.46–2.2) 0.99
Prior treatment failure 1.42 (0.68–3.0) 0.35
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.
