Table 5:
Odds ratios (ORs) of HCV care delivery method and potential covariates among those retained in HCV care
| Variable | (a/c)/(b/d)* | Unadjusted OR (95% CI) | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Care delivery method (Ref.: clinic) | 0.14 (0.06 to 0.31) | 0.13 (0.06 to 0.31) | <0.0001 | |
| TM | (27/816)/(10/46) | 0.40 (0.17 to 0.94) | 0.31 (0.13 to 0.74) | 0.009 |
| Mixed delivery | (55/788)/(7/49) | |||
| Female | (284/559)/(17/39) | 1.30 (0.68 to 2.48) | 0.4 | |
| Older age | — | 1.05 (1.02 to 1.08) | 0.003 | |
| Greatest social deprivation (Ref: norm) | (202/547)/(6/43) | 2.57 (1.06 to 6.26) | 0.04 |
Note: Patients achieved SVR and received DAAs using per-protocol analysis
* Telemedicine (TM) = (a = # TM retained in care/c = # Mixed Delivery (MD) + Outpatient Clinic (OPC) retained in care)/(b = # TM lost-to-follow-up (LTFU)/d = # MD and OPC LTFU); MD = (a = # MD retained in care/c = #TM and OPC retained in care)/(b = # MD LTFU/d = # TM and OPC LTFU); Female Sex = (a = # females retained in care/c = # males retained in care)/(b = # females LTFU/d = # males LTFU); Greatest Social Deprivation = (a = # individuals experiencing greatest social deprivation retained in care/c = # individuals experiencing normal range social deprivation retained in care)/(b = # individuals experiencing greatest social deprivation LTFU/d = # individuals experiencing normal range social deprivation LTFU)
HCV = Hepatitis C virus; TM = Telemedicine; MD = Mixed delivery; OPC = Outpatient clinic; LTFU = Lost to follow-up
