Summary Background and Aims Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is prevalent among 200,000 individuals in Poland; however, few are aware of their condition (30,000 diagnosed) and even fewer are treated (2490 in 2014). This analysis projected future disease burden and developed two treatment scenarios to control or eliminate hepatitis C virus-related disease in Poland. Methods […]
Summary The hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic was forecasted through 2030 for 15 countries, and the relative impact of two scenarios was considered: (i) increased treatment efficacy while holding the treated population constant and (ii) increased treatment efficacy and increased annual treated population. Increasing levels of diagnosis and treatment, in combination with improved treatment efficacy, […]
Summary Morbidity and mortality attributable to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are increasing in many countries as the infected population ages. Models were developed for 15 countries to quantify and characterize the viremic population, as well as estimate the number of new infections and HCV related deaths from 2013 to 2030. Expert consensus was […]
Summary Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of liver related morbidity and mortality. In many countries, there is a lack of comprehensive epidemiological data that are crucial in implementing disease control measures as new treatment options become available. Published literature, unpublished data and expert consensus were used to determine key parameters, […]
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 […]
