Chronic hepatitis C in the Czech Republic: Forecasting the disease burden.

CONCLUSIONS: Disease burden associated with chronic HCV infection is projected to peak in the Czech Republic in 30-40 years. Assuming that the current portion of DAAs used remains constant, a significant reduction in HCV disease burden is possible through increased diagnosis and treatment through 2030. This analysis provides evidence in order to facilitate the development of national strategies for HCV care and management in the Czech Republic. PMID: 31241282 [PubMed - in process]
