Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection can lead to severe liver diseases, and in the Middle East, genotype 4 is the most common strain, impacting treatment effectiveness.
- * A study involving 200 patients in Saudi Arabia found that 97.5% achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR12) after treatment with direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs), with no significant response differences based on age, gender, or HCV genotype.
- * However, the presence of cirrhosis and gender were identified as independent factors that could negatively influence reaching the SVR12 outcome.
