Covariate aHR (95% CI),
PS-matched dataset
aHR (95% CI),
PS-weighted dataset
HCV-negative Other 1 (ref) 1 (ref)
HCV-negative East Asian 1.10 (0.93 to 1.30) 1.21 (1.02 to 1.42)
HCV-negative South Asian 2.34 (1.98 to 2.77) 2.42 (2.05 to 2.87)
HCV-positive Other 2.27 (2.14 to 2.41) 3.18 (2.70 to 3.73)
HCV-positive East Asian 3.24 (2.76 to 3.81) 2.27 (2.14 to 2.40)
HCV-positive South Asian 5.76 (4.98 to 6.67) 5.71 (4.93 to 6.60)

*Multivariable models were adjusted with sex, age at HCV diagnosis, material and social deprivation quintiles, HBV/HIV infection, obesity, mood and anxiety disorders, alcohol use disorder and injection drug use.

aHR, adjusted hazard ratios; CI, confidence interval; HCV, hepatitis C virus; PS, propensity scores.
