Increased Mortality Chronic HCV is associated with a 8- to 12-year
reduction in overall life expectancy and reduced quality of life1
Chronic HCV patients have significantly higher mortality rate HR
1.53; (95% CI, )2 HR 1.37; (95% CI, )3 Death rate 12-fold higher
than general population4 1 Ryder SD, et al. J Hepatology, 2007; 3

Hepatol, 2001; Progression to Cirrhosis Becomes Nonlinear with
Age
Age > 50 yrs Age yrs Age yrs Age yrs Age 50 years of age at the
time of infection. During a second phase, occurring approximately
10 to 25 years after infection, there is a slow but steady increase
in the rate of fibrosis progression. During the third phase, years
25 to 35 post-infection, the rate of progression is intermediate.
Afterwards, there is a final phase >35 years post-infection in
which the rate of progression becomes rapid in all age categories
In a study by DSouza et al, infection for over 60 years caused
cirrhosis in 71% of infected individuals References Marcellin P,

Med 2015; 4 Leidner AJ, et al. Hepatology 2015 HCV Global Therapy
150 million infected worldwide estimate with of whom living in
middle-income countries in poorest populations Cost dominates the
debate to treat Price reductions in poorest countries (eg. India
and Egypt); yet, China, 10 million infected with no cost reductions
Testing/treating early will benefit countries economically by
reducing burden of disease and retaining healthy workforce
Conclusions HCV progresses to cirrhosis over 20 years in about
20-30% of patients, but this rate can be accelerated by cofactors
HCV infection is curable, and therapy has evolved rapidly; cure
rates exceed 90% even in many populations that heretofore had been
difficult to treat Some populations remain difficult to treat with
currently available therapies Near future therapies pangenotypic
and of shorter duration Therapy is cost-effective yet cost still
