Název v původním jazyce

A systematic review of hepatitis C virus epidemiology in Europe, Canada and Israel

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Decisions on public health issues are dependent on reliable epidemiological data. A comprehensive review of the literature was used to gather country-specific data on risk factors, prevalence, number of diagnosed individuals and genotype distribution ofthe hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in selected European countries, Canada and Israel. Data references were identified through indexed journals and non-indexed sources. In this work, 13 000 articles were reviewed and 860 were selected based on their relevance. Differences in prevalence were explained by local and regional variances in transmission routes or different public health measures. The lowest HCV prevalence (<=0.5%) estimates were from northern European countries and the highest (>=3%) were from Romania and rural areas in Greece, Italy and Russia. The main risk for HCV transmission in countries with well-established HCV screening programmes and lower HCV prevalence was injection drug use, which was associated with younger age
