Table 2 Transient elastography characteristics in patients with chronic hepatitis C according to treatment status
| Variables | HCV treated (n = 419) | HCV untreated (n = 394) |
| Baseline liver stiffness (kPa) [mean (SD); range] | 10.69 (9.48); 1.30-75.00 | 7.32 (6.10); 0.00-75.00 |
| Change in kPa score [mean (SD)] | -2.78 (7.10) | 0.51 (5.14) |
| Months between first and last TE [median (Q1, Q3)] | 11.73 (7.41, 17.87) | 12.68 (8.71, 16.94) |
| Months between first TE and DAA start [median (Q1, Q3)] | 1.64 (0.95, 3.84) | – |
| Months between DAA end and last TE [median (Q1, Q3)] | 4.17 (3.07, 10.96) | – |
