Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Population-Level Health Intervention to Increment HCV Treatment Coverage in Tuscany Region, Italy: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis

Abstract

Worldwide, an estimated 71.1 million people are chronically infected with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has made possible the definition of elimination targets by 2030. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a population-level health intervention to expand access to HCV treatment in the Tuscany Region, Italy.
