High rates of SVR12 (88.3%) were observed among elderly patients with DAAs-based regimens. The presence of AE was frequent (65%). The majority of these patients (86.7%) had concomitant medication that required adjustment in 1/3 of them. These findings highlight the high rates of response to DAAs in the elderly HCV-population. However, special caution must be taken when using RBV and a PI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
