Journal ArticleDOI

Global prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus infection in 2015: a modelling study

Sarah Blach, +221 more
TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global prevalence, treatment, and prevention of hepatitis B virus infection in 2016: a modelling study

Devin Razavi-Shearer, +195 more
TL;DR: The estimate of HBV prevalence in 2016 differs from previous studies, potentially because it took into account the effect of infant prophylaxis and early childhood vaccination, as well as changing prevalence over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

The present and future disease burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with today's treatment paradigm.

A. Sibley, +127 more
TL;DR: The current treatment rate and efficacy are not sufficient to manage the disease burden of hepatitis C virus and alternative strategies are required to keep the number of HCV individuals with advanced liver disease and liver‐related deaths from increasing.
