Reply to: “Real-world data on antiviral treatments for hepatitis C virus infections: Can we define intention to treat or per protocol analyses?”

We thank Ojha and Steyerberg1 for making a valid point regarding our manuscript. Indeed, defining analysis populations of real-life observational studies as intention-to-treat or per protocol is problematic, as this wording may suggest a higher comparability to clinical trials than exists.
