Summary Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic RNA virus that causes progressive liver damage, which might result in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Globally, between 64 and 103 million people are chronically infected. Major risk factors for this blood-borne virus infection are unsafe injection drug use and unsterile medical procedures (iatrogenic infections) in countries […]

Summary The number of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections is projected to decline while those with advanced liver disease will increase. A modeling approach was used to forecast two treatment scenarios: (i) the impact of increased treatment efficacy while keeping the number of treated patients constant and (ii) increasing efficacy and treatment rate. This analysis […]
Summary The disease burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is expected to increase as the infected population ages. A modeling approach was used to estimate the total number of viremic infections, diagnosed, treated and new infections in 2013. In addition, the model was used to estimate the change in the total number of HCV infections, […]
Summary Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading indicator for liver disease. New treatment options are becoming available, and there is a need to characterize the epidemiology and disease burden of HCV. Data for prevalence, viremia, genotype, diagnosis and treatment were obtained through literature searches and expert consensus for 16 countries. For […]
Resumen Antecedentes y objetivo Las decisiones sobre cuestiones de salud pública dependen de datos epidemiológicos fiables. Se utilizó una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura para recopilar datos específicos de cada país sobre factores de riesgo, prevalencia, número de personas diagnosticadas y distribución de genotipos de la infección por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) en países europeos seleccionados, Canadá e Israel. Metodología Referencias de datos […]
