          Abstract

          The recommendations define the principles of diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection according to the latest knowledge. The main goal of the treatment of HCV infection is to eliminate the virus from the body, which in turn leads to stopping the progression or causes the regression of previously formed changes in the liver. The current version of the guidelines prioritizes pangenotypic regimens and includes guidelines for special patient populations such as children, patients with cirrhosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, patients with renal failure, liver failure and lack of response to previous therapies as well as patients in the peri-transplant period.

          EASL recommendations on treatment of hepatitis C: Final update of the series☆

          Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with approximately 71 million chronically infected individuals worldwide. Clinical care for patients with HCV-related liver disease has advanced considerably thanks to an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, as well as developments in diagnostic procedures and improvements in therapy and prevention. These therapies make it possible to eliminate hepatitis C as a major public health threat, as per the World Health Organization target, although the timeline and feasibility vary from region to region. These European Association for the Study of the Liver recommendations on treatment of hepatitis C describe the optimal management of patients with recently acquired and chronic HCV infections in 2020 and onwards.

            Lack of evidence of an effect of direct-acting antivirals on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma: Data from three ANRS cohorts.

            (2016)
            Sustained virological response following interferon-based antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis C is associated with decreased long-term risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in advanced liver fibrosis. An unexpected high rate of HCC recurrence following antiviral treatment using direct-acting antiviral (DAA) has recently been reported.

              Global change in hepatitis C virus prevalence and cascade of care between 2015 and 2020: a modelling study

              Since the release of the first global hepatitis elimination targets in 2016, and until the COVID-19 pandemic started in early 2020, many countries and territories were making progress toward hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination. This study aims to evaluate HCV burden in 2020, and forecast HCV burden by 2030 given current trends.
