PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Physicians will complete a questionnaire at these visits: treatment initiation; 12 and 24 weeks after treatment initiation and 24 weeks after the end of treatment; and 36 and 48 weeks after treatment initiation for participants treated for 48 weeks.

Population: For the 48 week treatment period, the analysis did not separate Genotype 1 (G1) from Genotype 4 (G4) or others. Of the 789 participants, 8 were excluded from analysis (3 for lack of data; 5 because they were untreated).

n=781 Participants
Adult participants with chronic hepatitis C treated with PegIntron as monotherapy or in combination with ribavirin. The recommended treatment duration was 24 weeks for genotypes 2 and 3 and 48 weeks for genotype 1 according to the French 2002 consensus meeting. The start and end dates of the treatment were collected in the questionnaire, so the actual treatment duration was calculated for each participant and compared to the theoretical treatment duration reported at Day 0 by the investigators.
