acute HCV infection persists and 4% to 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C will develop liver cirrhosis within 20 years. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the risk to develop HCC is 1-5% per year. Current standard therapy is the combination of pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN-α) and ribavirin. D[r]

Theoretically, they may promote weight loss by interfering with the breakdown of complex carbohydrates thereby reducing, or at least slowing, the digestive availability of carbo-hydrate-derived calories and/or by providing resistant starches to the lower gastro[r]

Because of our reliance on dispensing information in the record linkage study, we do not know whether the women in the study actually took the drugs.
