Table 2 Area under the ROC curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of sustained virological response based on a log 10 decrease in total HCV core antigen, across cutpoints and timepoints after initial antiviral treatment

From: Hepatitis C virus core antigen, an earlier and stronger predictor on sustained virological response in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection
