Hepatitis C virus core antigen is cost-effective in community-based screening of active hepatitis C infection in Taiwan

Background and purpose: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen is highly sensitive and specific in viremic HCV diagnosis. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) in community-based screening for active HCV infection. Methods: Between 2017/07 and 2018/07, community-base...
