Insulin resistance was a better predictor of sustained virological response than steatosis or cirrhosis in multivariable models, and is the only non-invasive measure among the three correlated predictors.
| Effect size | IR model had smaller -2 log likelihood value than steatosis or cirrhosis models |
| Comparator | Steatosis (present in 55% of biopsies) and cirrhosis (present in 27%) as alternative predictors |
| Effect summary | improvement; IR model had smaller -2 log likelihood value than steatosis or cirrhosis models |
