Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The standard treatments for chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) are peginterferon α-2a or α-2b plus ribavirin, but it remains unclear if one has a better efficacy and safety profile. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing peginterferon α-2a and α-2b (in combination with ribavirin) treatments for chronic HCV....
