Özet

Introduction: Chronic hepatitis C is an infectious disease known to affect people worldwide. The disease is characterized by both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations that impair the patient's overall quality of life (QoL). Potent and easy-to-use direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have been recently introduced to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study aimed to assess the QoL of patients with chronic HCV before and after DAAs treatment.
