Hepatitis C Core Antigen test as an alternative for diagnosing HCV infection: mathematical model and cost-effectiveness analysis

2019-12-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The cost and complexity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is a significant barrier for the diagnosis and treatment of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). We investigated the cost-effectiveness of various testing strategies using antigen as an alternative to PCR. <h4>Methods</h4> We developed a mathematical model for HCV to estimate the number of newly diagnosed individuals...
