TLDR
The standard of care (SOC) therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been the use of both peginterferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) as mentioned in this paper.

Recommendations for the identification of chronic hepatitis C virus infection among persons born during 1945-1965.

TL;DR: Targeted testing and linkage to care for infected persons in this birth cohort is expected to reduce HCV-related morbidity and mortality and help halt disease progression and provide a virologic cure.

Genetic variation in IL-28B and spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus

TL;DR: Patients who spontaneously cleared HCV were younger than chronically infected group;spontaneous clearance rate of rs12979860 genotype CC/CT,rs8099917 genotype TT/TG,rs10853728 genotypes CC/CG and rs12980275 genotype AA/AG were not significantly different; however, the age of infection was associated with spontaneous clearance.

Amino acid substitution in hepatitis C virus core region and genetic variation near the interleukin 28B gene predict viral response to telaprevir with peginterferon and ribavirin

TL;DR: Analysis of genetic variation near the IL28B gene and aa substitution of the core region as predictors of sustained virological response to a triple therapy of telaprevir/PEG‐IFN/ribavirin in Japanese patients infected with HCV genotype 1b identified high sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values.

Sustained virologic response prevents the development of esophageal varices in compensated, child-pugh class A hepatitis C virus-induced cirrhosis. A 12-year prospective follow-up study

TL;DR: In the long term, the achievement of SVR prevents the development of EV in patients with compensated HCV‐induced cirrhosis, and in these patients, endoscopic surveillance can be safely delayed or avoided.
