Excerpt

In response to a request from the public regarding antiviral regimens for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, a review was undertaken to evaluate the evidence regarding the potential benefits and adverse effects associated with currently available antiviral treatment regimens. This review did not address antiviral treatment for hepatitis C in pregnant women, or in patients receiving hemodialysis, or in those infected with HIV, or in patients after transplantation. The systematic review included 77 reports of eligible studies published from 1947 through April 2012. The full report, listing all studies, is available at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/hepctreatment.cfm. This summary is provided to inform discussions with patients of options and to assist in decisionmaking along with consideration of a patient’s values and preferences. However, reviews of evidence should not be construed to represent clinical recommendations or guidelines.
