Chronic hepatitis C patients with advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis who achieve sustained virological response to treatment have a life expectancy matching that of the general population, according to findings from a retrospective study published in the November 12 Journal of the American Medical Association. Those who were not cured, however, had significantly reduced survival.
