Objective To establish a micro-elimination model of hepatitis C in hospital and analyze its application effect in hepatitis C prevention and control.Methods A tertiary hospital in Guigang,Guangxi was taken as an example to construct a micro-elimination model of hepatitis C through division of labor,coordination and cooperation,and capacity building.The chan-ges of anti-HCV screening rates,HCV RNA testing rates,DAA treatment rates,and the number of patients cured before(2021)and after(2022)the implementation of the project were analyzed.Results Compared with 2021,anti-HCV screening rate in-creased from 78.8%to 81.2%,HCV RNA testing rate increased from 75.1%to 97.8%,DAA treatment rate increased from 19.4%to 57.3%,and the number of people cured increased from 61 to 231 in 2022.The differences were all statistically signif-icant(P<0.05).Conclusion The establishment of hepatitis C micro-elimination model in hospitals can significantly improve the anti-HCV screening rate,HCV RNA detection rate,DAA treatment rate,promote the cure of more hepatitis C patients,and help to accelerate the process of hepatitis C elimination strategy in China,which is worthy of popularization and application.
