Effect of treating chronic hepatitis C with direct-acting antivirals on extrahepatic cutaneous manifestations

Table 1 Age and gender distribution in each group, n (%)

		Lichen planus group, n = 6	Psoriasis group, n = 8	Pruritus group, n = 16	Test value	P value	Significance
Gender	Female	3 (50.0)	4 (50.0)	9 (56.2)	0.1171	0.943	NS
	Male	3 (50.0)	4 (50.0)	7 (43.8)
Age	mean ± SD	42.67 ± 5.85	53.00 ± 7.01	43.13 ± 14.34	2.2032	0.130	NS
	Range	35-51	40-60	24-60

¹Here we used the Chi Square test as a test of significance as gender is a qualitative variable with three groups compared.

²Here we used the ANOVA test as a test of significance as age is a quantitative variable with three groups compared. NS: Non significant (P > 0.05).

Table 2 Results in patients with lichen planus

Lichen planus	First visit, n (%)	Second visit, n (%)	Chi-square test
			χ²	P value	Significance
Absent	0 (0)	4 (66.7)	6.000	0.014	S
Present	6 (100)	2 (33.3)

P > 0.05: Non significant; P < 0.05: Significant; P < 0.01: Highly significant.

Table 3 Results in patients with psoriasis

Psoriasis	First visit, n (%)	Second visit, n (%)	Chi-square test
			χ²	P value	Significance
Absent	0 (0)	8 (100)	16.000	0.000	HS
Present	8 (100)	0 (0)

P > 0.05: Non significant; P < 0.05: Significant; P < 0.01: Highly significant.
