Fig. 1. Frequency of diabetes in HBV-infected and HCV-infected
patients with absence of cirrhosis by liver biopsy compared with those with
clinical or liver biopsy evidence of cirrhosis. (A) The entire cohort (HBV vs.
HCV, noncirrhotic: 9.7% vs. 18.4%, P = .02; cirrhotic: 20.5%
vs. 33.1%, P = .04 ); (B) After excluding subjects with
conditions predisposing to diabetes (HBV vs. HCV, noncirrhotic: 16% v. 11%,
P = .26; cirrhotic: 28% vs. 15%; P = .04 ).
*P < .05 for differences in frequency of diabetes in
HBV cohort vs. HCV.
