Abstract

Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) became available in 2014, but the role of mental health or substance use disorders (MH/SUD) on access to treatment is unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the extent and predictors of HCV treatment in the pre-DAA and post-DAA periods in four large, diverse health care settings in the United States. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 29,544 adults with chronic HCV who did or did not receive treatment from January 1, 2011, to February 28, 2017. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to examine cumulative risk for receiving HCV treatment stratified by MH/SUD. Predictors of HCV treatment in the pre-DAA (January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013) and post-DAA (January 1, 2014, to February 28, 2017) cohorts were analyzed using multivariate generalized estimating equations and a modified Poisson model. Overall, 21.7% (2,879/13,240) of those with chronic HCV post-DAA were treated compared with 3.5% (574/16,304) in the pre-DAA period. Compared with non-Hispanic whites, Hispanic whites (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25, 0.52) were less likely to be treated in the post-DAA period. Those with concurrent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (AOR 1...Continue Reading
