Sentences with phrase «daa treatment»

Monash University Professor William Sievert said a delay in access to DAA treatment means that thousands of HCV infected patients could die or develop advanced liver disease.

Professor Sievert's team examined the impact of delayed access to DAA treatment by modelling one and two year delays.

Using a mathematical model, researchers at the University of Bristol and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in collaboration with researchers and clinicians in the UK, Australia and Canada projected the potential impact of these new DAAs treatment among PWID in three cities with similar PWID prevalence (~ 1 per cent among adults) but very different levels of chronic HCV prevalence among PWID.

The researchers estimate that if the cost of the new DAAs are equivalent to other new HCV antiviral drugs then treatment rates would require an annual treatment budget of US $ 3.2 million in Edinburgh and approximately $ 50 million in Melbourne and Vancouver.

But in Edinburgh where chronic HCV prevalence is lower and current treatment rates already at three per cent of PWID with chronic HCV, then once the new DAA become available HCV prevalence is projected to reduce by 25 per cent over the next 15 years.

Researchers suggest that starting treatment with DAAs early could serve as a preventive measure, reducing the risk of hepatitis C transmission.
