Summary Estimates for Adjusted Relative Risk of Mortality among HCV+ve Dialysis Patients.

	Cohort Size	RR	𝑃-value
Goodkin et al. [4]	16 720	1.17	.016
Fabrizi et al. [31]*	2 341	1.57	—
Fabrizi et al. [33]**	11 589	1.34	—
Scott et al. [3]	23 046	1.25	.04

*Meta-analysis of four clinical trials [34, 35]. A test for homogeneity of the relative risks across the four studies gave a 𝑃-value of  .77.
**Meta-analysis of seven clinical trials [36]. Tests for homogeneity of the aRR across the seven studies gave Ri value of 0.48.
RR: relative risk.
