Objectives : Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) is associated with long- term complications. Treating CHC with Pegylated interferon a-2a (PEG IFN a-2a) improves response rates and may contribute to less morbidity and mortality compared to standard interferon therapy. The objectives of this study were to estimate the long- term clinical consequences of such treatment as well as the result- ing cost-effectiveness. |
