Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to identify patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who were lost of follow up and relinkage them to hepatitis C care

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will review electronic medical charts to identify patients with HCV diagnosis. Next, investigators will evaluate if these patients are routinely followed by liver specialists at the Institution. Those patients who were lost of follow up will be reached to evaluate their disease and eventually offer them to restart HCV care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients under routine hepatitis C care

Patients who are routinely followed at the treating institution. Investigators will evaluate baseline demographic, liver fibrosis stage, liver-related complications, and antiviral therapy.

No interventions assigned to this group

Patients with hepatitis C lost of follow-up

Patients who were lost of follow-up. Participants will be contacted to evaluate if the continued HCV care at another institution, were not routinely followed by a liver-specialist or if they died. Investigators will also evaluate baseline demographic, liver fibrosis stage, liver-related complications, and antiviral therapy.

Patients with hepatitis C lost follow up

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients with chronic HCV who were lost of follow up will be contacted by phone or email. At least 3 phone calls will be made on three different days. In case the patient is not contacted it will be considered lost of follow-up
