HBV RNA level according to HBeAg status and ALT level. Dots represent individual HBV RNA measurements, with lines representing the unadjusted mean level of HBV RNA (log c/mL) according to HBeAg status (A) and serum ALT level (B) expressed in ×ULN. The LLD for the HBV RNA PCR is 800 c/mL (2.90 log c/mL).

HBV RNA level according to HBV genotype and presence of precore and basal core promoter mutations. Dots represent individual HBV RNA measurements, with lines representing the unadjusted mean level of HBV RNA (log c/mL) according to HBV genotype (A) and presence of PC and BCP mutations (B). The LLD for the HBV RNA PCR is 800 c/mL (2.90 log c/mL).

Correlations of HBV RNA with serum levels of HBV DNA, qHBsAg, and qHBeAg. Correlations of serum levels of HBV RNA (log c/mL) with serum levels of HBV DNA, qHBsAg, and qHBeAg (log IU/mL). Letters represent individual serum‐marker measurements according to HBV genotype. For linear correlations, Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were provided, and for skewed distributions, the Spearman rank coefficients (ρ) were provided. The LLD for the HBV RNA PCR is 800 c/mL (2.90 log c/mL). Abbreviation: n.a., not applicable.
