When Stepwise logistic regression was applied to the baseline data, three features were more likely to be effective in HCV rec patients’ more than non-rec: abnormal ALT [odds ratio (OR), 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02–1.2] and donor steatosis >3.5% (OR, 46.07; 95% CI, 1.5–1407.8; see Table 7). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and steatosis.
