Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: In patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of genotype 4, the predictors of rapid virologic response (RVR) have not been determined adequately. We aimed to assess which pretreatment variables might predict an RVR and a sustained virologic response (SVR). METHODS: A total of 131 non-diabetic, genotype 4 CHC patients were enrolled for analysis and treated with peginterferon-alpha-2b/ribavirin. Insulin...
