Work presented in this article sought to assess the healthcare and economic burden of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the United Kingdom. It used a cohort simulation model to estimate the prevalence of HCV infection in the UK, including the number of persons who live with HCV infection at different disease stages, and the number of deaths that can be attributed to HCV infection through to 2035. It further assessed the healthcare and societal costs that are associated with HCV infection under different scenarios of diagnosis and treatment rates.
本文所呈现的研究旨在评估英国丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染带来的医疗和经济负担。该研究使用了队列模拟模型来估计英国HCV感染的患病率,包括处于不同疾病阶段的HCV感染者数量,以及到2035年可归因于HCV感染的死亡人数。它还进一步评估了在不同诊断和治疗率情况下与HCV感染相关的医疗和社会成本。
