Background & Aims: In 2016, Médecins Sans Frontières established the first general population Hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening and treatment site in Cambodia, offering free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment. This study analysed the cost-effectiveness of this intervention.
Methods: Costs, quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and cost-effectiveness of the intervention were projected with a Markov model over a lifetime horizon, discounted at 3%/year.
Article Synopsis
- Marine environments have warmed by an average of 1°C since the 1850s, affecting the distribution of marine species based on their thermal tolerances.
- A global analysis of 304 marine species shows that abundance is increasing in cooler, poleward areas, while it is declining toward the warmer equatorial regions.
- This trend indicates that future temperature rises (up to 1.5°C by 2050) will further push marine species to shift their distributions, potentially impacting coastal communities reliant on these species.
