Abstract

Introduction: Non-adherence to any therapy may be related to skipping drug doses, discontinuation of therapy, or loss of follow-up. It leads to the ineffectiveness of treatment, which is associated with obvious individual health losses, significant social and financial costs, and, in the case of infectious diseases, epidemiological consequences resulting from the possibility of further spread of infection.

Areas covered: This review article analyses the causes and effects of non-adherence to treatment in patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It also presents strategies to reduce the risk of non-adherence, which can be implemented by simplifying the treatment process, improving the flow of information between the doctor and the patient, as well as improving patients' knowledge about hepatitis C infection, and facilitating the understanding of the risks associated with non-adherence.

Expert opinion: Since the treatment of HCV infections is highly effective in almost all patients who complete medication, no new drugs are to be expected in the coming years. Therefore, the primary attention in the global elimination of HCV will be focused on screening programs, improving the availability of drugs, and reducing the risk of non-adherence.

慢性丙型肝炎感染的治疗:解决治疗依从性差的策略
不坚持任何治疗可能与跳过药物剂量、停止治疗或失去随访有关。它导致治疗无效,这与明显的个人健康损失、巨大的社会和经济成本有关,并且在传染病的情况下,由于感染可能进一步传播而造成流行病学后果。涵盖领域:这篇综述文章分析了丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者不坚持治疗的原因和影响。报告还提出了减少不依从性风险的战略,可通过简化治疗过程、改善医生和患者之间的信息流动、提高患者对丙型肝炎感染的知识以及促进对不依从性相关风险的了解来实施。专家意见:由于HCV感染的治疗对几乎所有完成药物治疗的患者都非常有效,因此预计未来几年不会有新药出现。因此,全球消除丙型肝炎病毒的首要关注点将集中在筛查规划、提高药物可得性和降低不依从风险上。
