ABSTRACT
With the appearance of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), breakthroughs have been achieved in the antiviral therapy for hepatitis C and hepatitis C patients can be cured completely. Due to the insidious onset of hepatitis C, most patients do not know their own conditions, and thus expanding diagnosis and treatment through screening is the key to the elimination of hepatitis C. However, hepatitis C virus is distributed widely and unevenly in the world, which results in difficulties in the screening and diagnosis of hepatitis C. This article introduces the current economic research on hepatitis C screening, analyzes the factors affecting the cost-effectiveness of hepatitis C screening, and shares the strategies and advances for hepatitis C elimination in other countries, so as to provide a reference for eliminating hepatitis C in China.
