Filter by:This is a retrospective, non-interventional study. Investigators from infectious diseases and gastroenterology departments will participate this study. Patients data will be collected from hospital medical records.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sofosbuvir/daclatasvir combination for children aged ≥ 6 years old and adolescents with active HCV infection in Cambodia
Reintroduction of patients into a HCV infection care pathway after a positive chronic hepatitis C diagnosis by previous testing in our hospital who were lost in follow-up. Gaining insight in the possible reasons why patients are lost in follow-up after positive hepatitis C serology.
A major impediment to emergency department (ED)-based HIV/HCV screening success is that often ED patients at risk for, or later diagnosed with, HIV and HCV decline testing. In this R01 project, the research team will assess how well a promising, easy-to-use, one-time, minimal-training-needed, very brief persuasive health communication intervention (PHCI) increases acceptance of testing among adult ED patients who either currently, formerly or never injected drugs and initially declined HIV/HCV screening. The research team will conduct a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) at two EDs within the Mount Sinai Health System to compare the efficacy of the PHCI when delivered by a video vs. an HIV/HCV counselor. Patients who initially declined HIV/HCV screening will be stratified by injection-drug use (IDU) history cohorts: (1) current/former PWIDs, (2) never/non-PWIDs. Within each IDU history cohort, the research team will randomly assign participants (1:1) to a PHCI delivered by: (1) a video, or (2) an HIV/HCV counselor. This R01 project will be conducted at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital EDs. For Aim 1, the research team will determine which delivery form of the PHCI (video or HIV/HCV counselor) results in more ED patients accepting HIV/HCV screening, independent of their history of IDU. For Aim 2, the research team will determine if screening acceptance is similar across IDU history cohorts. For Aim 3, the research team will further compare the two delivery forms of the PHCI through a health economics assessment, both independent of IDU history and within each IDU history cohort.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about he effects of hepatitis C virus on pregnancy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Effect of hepatitis C virus on liver function in pregnant women Mother-to-child transmission rate in pregnant women with hepatitis C
The present study aims to establish a " one-sample testing platform " and assess the prevalence of hepatitis C in individuals taking routine physical examination or outpatient visit in mainland China.
This is an open-label trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of treatment with BEM + RZR in subjects with chronic HCV infection.
Direct antiviral therapy (standard of care) administered to chronic hepatitis C-infected patients, in two hepatology clinics, who had used intravenous drugs in the past 6 months of signing informed consent (IC). This cohort was compared to concurrently treated chronic hepatitis C patients who were not intravenous drug users, who signed IC in these same clinics. Follow-up expected two years after cure and relapse rates recorded. Primary end point was SVR rate and secondary end points included reinfection rates in follow-up period.
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the standardized liver cancer risk stratification management can effectively improve the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer in the targeted risk population in China.
Migrants' overall health status may be improved by increasing the detection of certain infectious diseases and other conditions for which effective care is available. This can be achieved through a systematic screening of these conditions using innovative and digital solutions implemented in routine health care. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of a screening programme for migrants at primary care level in two different settings of Spain (Catalonia and Andalusia) using an innovative digital and user-friendly software tool (ISMiHealth). In Catalonia, the ISMiHealth tool has already been integrated into the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system (eCAP) as part of a pilot study in 2018; currently, the research team aims to validate the tool in a higher number of primary care centres in this area. Therefore, a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial will be conducted with two parallel groups, in which selected centres using the novel software ISMiHealth will be compared to others that follow the current routine practice. On the other hand, in Andalusia a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial will be carried out, where the ISMiHealth tool will be implemented in the EPR system (DIRAYA) to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of the tool in other settings. The ISMiHealth software is a clinical decision support system that provides recommendations for primary healthcare professionals on screening for targeted conditions. It currently includes: 7 communicable diseases (Human immunodeficiency virus, Hepatitis B and C virus, Tuberculosis, Chagas diseases, strongyloidiasis and schistosomiasis) and one key health condition (female genital mutilation). Through routinely collected variables (country of birth, age, and sex), the software performs an individualised risk assessment and provides real-time prompts to healthcare professionals on screening for the selected health conditions. In any case, health professionals will be responsible for requesting screening tests and/or referrals to specialists.
