Economic assessment of an anti-HCV screening program in Italy

Risultato della ricerca: Contributo in rivista › Articolo

Abstract

The progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) disease usually occurs over a 10-year period. HCV-related complications as well as the highly debilitating effects on patients represent a significant item of expenditure for the National Health Service. Early detection of HCV infection is an excellent opportunity to improve patients' quality of life and to rationalize resource allocation.
