Interaction between changes of LFC and gender among three groups
| No. of patients | Absolute changes of LFC (%) β (95%CI) | P value* | Interaction test P value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PGZ + LSI vs LSI | ||||
| Men | 50 | 9.79 (0.37, 19.21) | 0.046 | 0.003 |
| Women | 50 | − 8.26 (− 17.18, − 0.65) | 0.025 | |
| BBR + LSI vs LSI | ||||
| Men | 63 | − 1.50 (− 9.38, 6.38) | 0.710 | 0.124 |
| Women | 45 | − 11.88 (− 21.61, − 2.14) | 0.020 | |
| BBR + LSI vs PGZ + LSI | ||||
| Men | 57 | − 11.29 (− 18.99, − 3.58) | 0.007 | 0.222 |
| Women | 45 | − 3.61 (− 13.61, 6.38) | 0.483 | |
Data are shown as means (95% confidence interval). Absolute changes of LFC (%), the difference of the absolute changes of LFC for men or women between the PGZ + LSI and LSI groups, the BBR + LSI and LSI groups, or the BBR + LSI and PGZ + LSI groups. Interaction test P value was assessed by Wald’s test
LFC liver fat content
