In the developed world, the majority of new and existing hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections occur among people who inject drugs (PWID). The burden of HCV-related liver disease in this group is increasing, but treatment uptake among PWID remains low. Among PWID, there are a number of barriers to care that should be considered and systematically addressed, but these barriers should not exclude PWID from HCV treatment. Furthermore, it has been clearly demonstrated that HCV treatment is safe and effective across a broad range of multidisciplinary healthcare settings. Given the burden of HCV-related disease among PWID, strategies to enhance HCV assessment and treatment in this group are urgently needed. These recommendations demonstrate that treatment among PWID is feasible and provides a framework for HCV assessment, management, and treatment. Further research is needed to evaluate strategies to enhance assessment, adherence, and SVR among PWID, particularly as new treatments for HCV infection become available.
在发达国家,大多数新的和现有的丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 感染发生在注射毒品者 (PWID) 中。该人群中与 HCV 相关的肝病负担正在增加,但 PWID 接受治疗的比例仍然很低。在 PWID 中,有许多需要考虑和系统解决的护理障碍,但这些障碍不应将 PWID 排除在 HCV 治疗之外。此外,已经明确表明,HCV 治疗在广泛的多学科医疗保健环境中是安全有效的。鉴于 PWID 中与 HCV 相关疾病的负担,迫切需要制定策略来加强该人群的 HCV 评估和治疗。这些建议表明,PWID 中的治疗是可行的,并为 HCV 评估、管理和治疗提供了框架。需要进一步研究以评估在 PWID 中加强评估、依从性和 SVR 的策略,特别是随着新的 HCV 感染治疗方法的出现。
