This indicator shows the age-adjusted hepatitis C involved death rate (with ICD-10 codes B17.1, B18.2) per 100,000 people.
Why is this important?
Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus that more than half the time develops into a chronic infection. Chronic hepatitis C can lead to more serious conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer. It is important for individuals to get tested for hepatitis C as there is currently no vaccine for the infection. However, treatments can cure most people with hepatitis C within 8-12 weeks.
