Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the treatment outcomes of predominantly uninsured patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV), highlighting the effectiveness of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) despite high costs.
- About 71% of the 216 patients analyzed were uninsured, with demographics showing a majority were male and Hispanic, yet insurance status did not significantly impact treatment compliance or complication rates.
- Both insured and uninsured patients had similar testing rates for sustained virologic response (SVR) post-treatment, with high cure rates of 98% and 97% respectively, demonstrating that access to assistance programs can lead to successful outcomes for both groups.
