Abstract

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (CHC) after successful direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy remains elusive. The study aimed to investigate the impact of DAA therapy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We also assess the associated factors predictive of HRQoL change after sustained virologic response (SVR) to HCV therapy.
