Mashup Score: 14Hepatocellular Carcinoma Incidence Threshold for Surveillance in Virologically Cured Hepatitis C Individuals - 4 month(s) ago
Guidelines recommend biannual surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C individuals with cirrhosis if the HCC incidence rate is above 1.5 per 100 person-years (PY). However, the incidence threshold for surveillance in individuals who achieve a virologic cure is unknown. We estimated the HCC incidence rate above which routine HCC surveillance is cost-effective in this growing population of virologically cured hepatitis C individuals with cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis.

Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has made transplantation of kidneys from HCV-infected donors to uninfected recipients (D+/Râ) feasible. To facilitate an update to the 2018 KDIGO guideline for patients with CKD and HCV, we conducted a systematic review of HCV D+/Râkidney transplantation coupled with DAA treatment.

Mashup Score: 0CDC recommends single-visit testing for hepatitis C - 10 month(s) ago
In new guidance, the CDC recommended that the two-step testing process for hepatitis C virus be completed in one visit, eliminating the need for multiple visits, which often leads to incomplete testing.

Previous CDC guidelines allowed for the two-step #HepC test to take place over multiple visits. The change will reduce the number of incomplete tests by reducing the patient burden of a second visit, Emily J. Cartwright, MD, and colleagues wrote in MMWR. https://t.co/lsF2jMHAyo
