We describe mortality and resource utilization for inpatient care of hepatitis C (HCV) in comparison to alcohol‐induced liver disease (ALD) in the United States and identify factors that affect outcomes. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project database, a national inpatient sample was used to identify hospitalization records with diagnoses related to liver disease from HCV and ALD. Outcome of hospitalizations was analyzed in terms of in‐hospital deaths and health care resource utilization…

The burden of hepatitis C virus infection is growing: a Canadian population-based study of hospitalizations from 1994 to 2004.
TLDR
The present studies' findings confirm the growing burden of HCV on the Canadian health care system and strategies to prevent HCV infection and maximize the dissemination and most effective use of potentially curative antiviral therapies are necessary to reduce these trends.
VIRAL HEPATITIS Trends in Health Care Resource Use for Hepatitis C Virus Infection in the United States
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects approximately 3 million people in the United States and places tremendous demands on the health care system. As many observers have predicted, the…
Trends in health care resource use for hepatitis C virus infection in the United States
TLDR
As patients continue to age and disease burden progresses, suboptimal decisions regarding HCV treatments will bring increasing opportunity costs for the health care system and society.
Hepatitis C and hospital outcomes in patients admitted with alcohol-related problems.
TLDR
Patients admitted to the hospital with alcohol-related diagnoses have longer hospital stays and are more likely to die in hospital if they have a diagnosis of HCV, which is known to act synergistically with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Patterns of Hepatitis C-Related Inpatient Mortality in the United States in the Era of Direct-Acting Antivirals
TLDR
The findings indicate that major disparities in the HCV disease burden exist in the era of DAA, and the burden of HCV infection is substantial given the disease is now curable.
Nationwide increase in hospitalizations and hepatitis C among inpatients with cirrhosis and sequelae of portal hypertension.

  • 2007
TLDR
A significant increase in the incidence of hospitalization for complicated portal hypertension between 1998 and 2003 and a growing burden of hepatitis C-related disease have profound economic impact and underscore the need for interventions to prevent progression to advanced liver disease.
Increased mortality among persons infected with hepatitis C virus.

  • 2011
TLDR
HCV infection is associated with increased mortality; younger patients (age, 20-29 y) have an increased risk of unnatural death.
Chronic Hepatitis C Disease in North Carolina: Epidemiology, Hospital Utilization Trends, and Implications for State Policy Change
TLDR
The objective of this paper is to summarize the current state of knowledge about HCV in North Carolina, with an emphasis on the impact or burden of the disease.
Mortality and hospital utilization for hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States.
TLDR
Closer epidemiologic surveillance to understand causation of HCC at the population level and to help implement primary and secondary prevention is urgently warranted.
Diabetes mellitus is an independent prognostic factor for major liver‐related outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis C
TLDR
In patients with chronic hepatitis C and cirrhosis, diabetes is an independent prognostic factor andimproving diabetes control may improve the outcome of Cirrhosis.

Cost-Effectiveness of 6 and 12 Months of Interferon- Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis C
TLDR
The cost-effectiveness of interferon- treatment from the point of view of society was assessed by comparing the number of liver-related deaths, quality-adjusted survival, and costs among the treatment strategies.
Clinical outcomes after transfusion-associated hepatitis C.
TLDR
In a group of patients seen at a referral center, chronic post-transfusion hepatitis C was a progressive disease and, in some patients, led to death from either liver failure or hepatocellular carcinoma.
Determinants of outcome of compensated hepatitis C virus‐related cirrhosis
TLDR
In patients with compensated HCV‐related Cirrhosis: complications of cirrhosis are frequent, whatever the viral genotype; and the severity of cir rhosis and the absence of IFN therapy are independently predictive of bad outcome.
Long-Term Mortality after Transfusion-Associated Non-A, Non-B Hepatitis
TLDR
Patients with transfusion-related non-A, non-B hepatitis who had been identified in five major prospective studies conducted in the United States between 1967 and 1980 are traced.
Hepatitis C: The clinical spectrum of disease
TLDR
This important liver disease has protean manifestations but is often insidious and can lead to end‐ stage liver disease despite the presence of few symptoms and signs of illness.
Reduction of health‐related quality of life in chronic hepatitis C and improvement with interferon therapy
TLDR
It is concluded that patients with chronic hepatitis C with or without cirrhosis have markedly reduced HRQOL, and successful interferon therapy provides meaningful improvements in HRZOL in patients with Chronic hepatitis C.
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection causes a significant reduction in quality of life in the absence of cirrhosis
TLDR
Patients with chronic HCV infection who had used intravenous drugs in the past had the greatest impairment in quality-of-life scores, but the reduction in quality of life scores was still found in patients who had never used drugs.
The prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in the United States, 1988 through 1994.
TLDR
The strongest factors independently associated with HCV infection were illegal drug use and high-risk sexual behavior, and poverty, having had 12 or fewer years of education, and having been divorced or separated were independently associated.
The APACHE III prognostic system. Risk prediction of hospital mortality for critically ill hospitalized adults.
TLDR
The overall predictive accuracy of the first-day APACHE III equation was such that, within 24 h ofICU admission, 95 percent of ICU admissions could be given a risk estimate for hospital death that was within 3 percent of that actually observed.
Racial differences in responses to therapy with interferon in chronic hepatitis C
TLDR
African‐American patients participating in the study were similar to white patients in mean age and baseline levels of HCV RNA but had lower rates of cirrhosis and more frequently had viral genotype 1, and there are marked racial differences in virological responses to interferon in hepatitis C.
