The goal of this observational study is to learn if offering a point-of-care screening test for exposure to the Hepatitis C virus, before providing a diagnostic test for Hepatitis C infection can increase testing, diagnosis and treatment in Adults. Participants will be recruited from settings that provide services to people with a risk factor for the acquisition of Hepatitis C viral infection. The main question it aims to answer is: What proportion of the participants that have been diagnosed with HCV infection have started treatment when their records are reviewed 12 weeks after diagnosis? Participants will have one in-person visit where they will provide informed consent and receive a finger-prick rapid result test for Hepatitis C infection. Participants with no previous Hepatitis C infection will have a screening test to see if they have an immune reaction to Hepatitis C. Participants who know they have been infected with Hepatitis C in the past, and all participants with a positive screening test result will then be given a Hepatitis C diagnostic test at this visit. No treatment is provided as a part of this study, participants who are diagnosed with Hepatitis C infection will be referred to testing locations standard of care for any additional clinical assessments and treatment initiation. A review of the participant's records will be made 12 weeks after their Hepatitis C result and their treatment data are gathered.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether alerts that identify patients without hepatitis C infection to healthcare providers and clinic staff can increase the uptake of screening for hepatitis C. A period of time without alerts will be compared to a period of time with alerts.
To Demonstrate Clinical Performance of the TriQuik Invitro Diagnostic Device
Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic killed more than 6 million people worldwide. Several vaccines have been developed against the virus that causes this disease. These vaccines are effective at preventing severe symptoms and death from COVID-19. Some people with chronic liver disease, especially those with an advanced condition called cirrhosis, do not respond to many vaccines as well as healthy people do. The goal of this natural history study is to find out how well people with chronic liver disease respond to the COVID-19 vaccines. Objective: To learn how chronic liver disease affects the body s immune response to vaccination against COVID-19. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with chronic liver disease. They must also be enrolled in protocol 91-DK-0214 or 18-DK-0091. Design: Participants will have 3 visits, each spaced 6 months apart. Each visit will last 2 hours. Participants will have their vital signs recorded. These include age, sex, race, height, and weight. They will give their medical history. At each visit, participants will have blood drawn through a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The sample drawn at each visit will be from 1 to 8 tablespoons. At each visit, participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19; whether they have had COVID-19; and whether they have been exposed to someone who had COVID-19. The questionnaire will take 10 to 15 minutes. Researchers will also look at results of past blood tests from other research studies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an intervention strategy in introducing screen/evaluate/treat (SET) procedures for HIV/ hepatitis C/ and Opioid Use Disorder in Primary Care Clinics in West Virginia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the barriers and facilitators to integrating evidence based practices for screening and treatment of HIV, hepatitis C, and Opioid Use Disorder into primary care clinics in West Virginia? - To assess the extent to which our SET processes are achieved through enhanced EHR tools, NIATx (formerly known as Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment) facilitation and Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO)-supported collaborative learning? - Does implementing these services improve primary and secondary health outcomes for patients? Primary Care Clinics will participate in training and process improvement coaching to integrate these services. Using a step-wise design, 20 Primary Care Clinics will undergo the training and coaching in four groups of five clinics.
This study will test the effectiveness, implementation outcomes, and cost effectiveness of a community-tailored, harm reduction kiosk in reducing HIV, hepatitis C, and overdose risk behavior in rural Appalachia. The proposed project will take place in two counties in Appalachian Kentucky, an epicenter for the intertwined national crises of injection drug use, overdoses, and hepatitis C.
Due to the high prevalence of HCV in prison and the risk of transmission between inmates, the management of hepatitis C and its treatment must be optimal following the recommendations of AFEF. The purpose of this study is to assess the treatment starting delay from the date of incarceration of inmates with chronic HCV infection (hepatitis C).
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a systematic disease that affects several aspects of patients' well-being, including physical, mental, social, and sexual quality of life. In recent years, this clinical trial aims to search the Response of Hepatic Enzymes, Psychological Measures, and Sexual Dysfunction to Aerobic Exercise in Hepatitis Men With Sexual Dysfunction Complaint
