S65impact on patient quality of life due to flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and other adverse events. Sofosbuvir (SOF) is a recently approved potent NS5B-inhibitor that is welltolerated with high efficacy regardless of genotype (GT), treatment experience, or cirrhosis status. This study evaluated the health outcomes of treating CHC patients with SOF+ribavirin (R), PR, or no treatment (NT) in China. METHODS: A Markov model simulated long-term outcomes for a cohort of 10,000 CHC non-cirrhotic (NC; 36.4%) and cirrhotic (CC; 63.6%) patients with an average age of 46 over a lifetime horizon. The model assumed 61.6% of patients were GT1b; 24.2%, GT2; 8.1%, GT3; and, 6.1% GT6. CC patients accounted for 15.2% of GT1-2/6 and 21.3% for GT3. Model inputs were extrapolated from clinical trials, published literature, or expert opinion (Chinese-specific where possible). RESULTS: Across all genotypes, SOF+R led to the highest sustained virologic (SVR) rates
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
