Estimation of fibrosis progression rates for chronic hepatitis C: a systematic review and meta-analysis update
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Mathematical models are increasingly important in planning for the upcoming chronic hepatitis C (CHC) elimination efforts. Such models require reliable natural history inputs to make accurate predictions on health and economic outcomes. Yet, hepatitis C virus disease progression is known to vary widely in the literature and published inputs are currently outdated. The objectives of this study were to obtain updated estimates of …
