Abstract excerpt

Background: Treatment of chronic Hepatitis C with directly acting antivirals (DAAs) can bring to sustained virologic response (SVR) in approximately 95% of patients. Efficacy and safety of DAAs in aging patients has not been widely analyzed. We aimed to determine safety and efficacy of DAA-based regimens in a cohort of elderly patients in a real-life setting.Research Design and Methods: We retrospectively...
