Background & Aims: Only a handful of countries are on target to achieve elimination of HCV by 2030. People experiencing homelessness (PEH) remain an important HCV reservoir. The END C study evaluated clinical, patient reported, and health economic outcomes of a decentralised integrated model.

We report final direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)-based outcomes from the Integrated-Test-stage -Treat (ITTREAT) study. Project ITTREAT (2013-2021), based at an addiction centre, was a 'one-stop' service with innovative linkage to care strategies.

Introduction: Because of improved life expectancy in people living with HIV (PLWH), liver disease is increasingly being recognized. We assessed nonviral chronic liver disease burden in PLWH.
Methods: The HIV non-virAL liver disease study (2014-2021) prospectively recruited PLWH with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase levels and negative hepatitis serology.
Goals: Assess outcomes in patients with an index presentation of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) over a 13-year period.
Background: SBP, a bacterial infection of ascites, has a poor prognosis.
Study: Retrospective cohort study assessing mortality (standardised to 32 months) and prognostic factors in patients with SBP during two periods: period 1 (June 2006-November 2012) and period 2 (December 2012-May 2019).
