Resultaterne blev også beregnet separat for patienter, der var "HBeAg- positive" (dvs. inficeret med det almindelige hepatitis B- virus), og for "HBeAg- negative" (dvs. inficeret med et virus, der har muteret og forårsager en form for kronisk hepatitis B, som er vanskeligere at behandle).
The results were also calculated separately between ‘ HBeAg-positive’ patients (infected with the common hepatitis B virus) and ‘ HBeAg-negative ’ patients (infected with a virus that has mutated, leading to a form of chronic hepatitis B that is more difficult to treat).
