Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study is designed to provide long term clinical and virologic follow up in subjects infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who received interferon-based therapy or direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs)-based therapy. This long term follow up study is observational and no treatment is provided for HCV infection.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Sustained virological response (SVR)
Time Frame: 36 months
The primary outcome measure is the occurence (yes or no) of sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as HCV RNA \< the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 15 IU/mL) in serum at least 3 months after stopping therapy. Point estimates and confidence intervals will be calculated to describe the frequency of SVR in various patients receiving IFN or DAAs based treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Virological breakthrough(36 months)
- Liver disease progression(Post treatment 10 years)
- Treatment persistence(36 months)
- Proportion of participants who develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through Year 10 by treatment regimen(Post treatment 5 years)
