  1. *The p-value associated with the group effect indicated whether the probability of HCV treatment initiation differed between different groups. The p-value associated with the interaction effect indicated whether different evolution of HCV treatment initiation existed according to the groups. For example, the probability of HCV treatment initiation is significantly higher among patients with liver fibrosis F3-F4 (p < 0.001) and evolution over time differed between those F0-F2 and F3-F4 (p < 0.001)
