Strategic planning for hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening and treatment requires up-to-date information on the prevalence of HCV spontaneous clearance. Published estimates of HCV spontaneous clearance range from 15% to 60%. We conducted an observational study over 20 years to evaluate trends in the prevalence of HCV spontaneous clearance. Our goals were to estimate the proportion of HCV-antibody-positive patients who were viremic, and to identify factors associated with viremia, thus facilitating prediction of the number of patients needing treatment.
慢性丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 筛查和治疗的策略规划需要最新的 HCV 自发清除率数据。已发表的 HCV 自发清除率估计值范围为 15%至 60%。我们进行了一项为期 20 年的观察性研究,以评估 HCV 自发清除率的趋势。我们的目标是估计 HCV 抗体阳性患者中病毒血症的比例,并确定与病毒血症相关的因素,从而有助于预测需要治疗的患者数量。
