Adherence to regular surveillance visits for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who achieved sustained virologic response
Conclusion
Adherence to post-SVR follow-up decreased over the long term, and rates differed by patient background. Adherence was especially poor in patients who achieved SVR by IFN-free therapy, and therefore, strategies are necessary to encourage these patients to maintain their regular schedule of hospital visits.
