Time to complete hepatitis C cascade of care among patients identified during mass screening campaigns in rural Rwanda: a retrospective cohort study

Table 4 Median time to complete key stage of the hepatitis C cascade of care

Variable	N	Median^a	(IQR)^a
Time between screening and return of initial viral load results	594	15	13	61
Time between return of initial viral load results and assessment for treatment eligibility	420	104	66	123
Time between treatment initiation and return of SVR12 results	368	334	287	–^b
Time between screening and SVR12 and return of SVR12 results among those who initiated treatment	368	437	406	–^b

All durations are defined in days
^aThe lower bound of the IQR, median, and upper bound of the IQR can be conceptualized as the points at which at least 25%, 50%, and 75% of the population had completed each stage of the cascade of care, respectively. ^bLess than 75% of the eligible population reached this milestone; so, the 75th percentile is not defined
