The article "Assessing the hepatitis C epidemiology in Switzerland: It's not that trivial" challenges the conclusion of a previous study that found a lower prevalence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Switzerland. The authors argue that the previous study did not adequately discuss the validity and reliability of the publications it relied on, and that the calculations used questionable assumptions and secondary sources. They also criticize the lack of stratification in the prevalence estimation and the exclusion of certain populations from the analysis. The authors suggest that further research and primary data are needed to revise prevalence estimates and determine if Switzerland has reached WHO elimination targets for HCV.
