Figure 2

Treatment cost per SVR (total costs were divided by the corresponding absolute numbers of SVR achieved or expected). NOTE: Cost 1 represents the actual cost incurred for treating the 104 patients under study with Peg-interferon and ribavirin while naĂŻve. Cost 2 represents the estimated cost of a lead-in strategy with PEG-IFN/RBV for 4 weeks, followed by a directly acting antiviral for 12 or 36 weeks in the same patients while naĂŻve. Cost 3 represents the estimated cost of PEG-IFN/RBV in naĂŻve patients (Cost 1) plus PEG-IFN/RBV with addition of a DAA in our patients who did not achieve a SVR.
