The source defines the Hepatitis C (HCV) clearance cascade as follows:
Ever infected: individuals who had a positive HCV test result between January 2013 and December 2021.
Viral testing: involves conducting 1 or more HCV RNA tests between January 2013 and December 2022, among those ever infected.
Initial infection: evidence of detectable HCV RNA in individuals with viral testing.
Cured or cleared: refers to individuals with initial infection who showed undetectable HCV RNA results (around one third of people with acute infections self-clear without treatment).
Persistent infection or reinfection: individuals categorized as cured or cleared showing subsequent detectable HCV RNA.
The categories viral testing, initial infection, cured or cleared, and persistent infection or reinfection were analyzed between January 2013 and December 2022.
