| Core Tip |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is defined as a public health problem by the World Health Organization and since then has defined targets through the HCV elimination. The present study aimed to document the treatment cascade for patients with HCV infection at a hospital in southern Brazil. With the retrospective cohort design, patients diagnosed with HCV infection between 2015 and 2020 were included to create the HCV cascade of care described as five exposure columns according to the stages of HCV care. Variables were related to each step of the cascade to identify obstacles for patients to reach the last step. With the elaboration of the HCV cascade of care using local data, it was possible to stratify and evaluate risk factors associated with losses between each step of the cascade, to inform new strategies to guide elimination efforts in the future. |
