Enhancing point-of-care testing for hepatitis C infection: the OPTIMISE study
Purpose:
Hepatitis C testing and treatment has declined in Australia, slowing elimination progress. Point-of-care testing for active hepatitis C infection provides results in an hour, enabling same-visit diagnosis and treatment. But, this test is more costly and has a longer time to result than point-of-care antibody testing. This MRFF Project will conduct a comparative effectiveness trial to assess the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and acceptability of point-of-care hepatitis C testing strategies.
