Telemedicine-based Model of Care for the Management of Hepatitis C Infected Patients: a Randomized Clinical Trial
Status: Unknown
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
To achieve World Health Organization 2030 goals of hepatitis C elimination it is mandatory to document after treatment sustained virological response (SVR). Currently, patients after completing treatment do not show up for SVR assessment. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a telemedicine-based model of care associated with dried blood spot testing at home to assess hepatitis C sustained virological response after treatment compared to the traditional model of care.
