Eradication of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Patients With Cirrhosis Reduces Risk of Liver and Non-Liver Complications

TL;DR: A reduction in critical events, liver-related or not, was confirmed in the CirVir cohort, a prospective study of patients with HCV infection and compensated cirrhosis included in the ANRS cohort who achieved an SVR, to reduce overall mortality and risk of death from liver- related and non-liver-related causes.

Diagnosis of choledocholithiasis: EUS or magnetic resonance cholangiography? A prospective controlled study
