- W2982144471 abstract "Abstract Background The hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic in the United States disproportionately impacts people who inject drugs (PWID) who account for 80% of new infections and have a high prevalence of chronic infection. Baltimore City has the highest case rate of HCV in the state of Maryland with over 25% of new cases statewide occurring in the city. Only 10% of PWID have access to directly acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and are cured of HCV. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is currently offered in isolated facilities with limited access to other specialty care. In this study, we collocated HCV care continuum in a MAT facility offering opioid agonist therapy and psychosocial interventions Methods Collocation of HCV care was initiated in an MAT (methadone and buprenorphine) clinic, the University of Maryland Drug Treatment Center (UMDTC) serving over 700 patients, for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in Baltimore City (Figure 1). Screening for HCV was expanded through health education of patients and staff and expanded testing. HCV antibody-positive patients were linked to care with an experienced HCV provider or referred to hepatologists (decompensated cirrhosis). Results Most of the attendees were African-American with an average age of 52 years. 354 out of 701 clients attending clinic for methadone/suboxone (50.5%) were screened for HCV. Of the 251 patients who were hepatitis C antibody positive (70% of tested), 54 had undetectable HCV RNA. 46 had no HCV RNA labs available. 151 of the remaining HCV Ab positive patients who had a detectable HCV RNA result were evaluated for treatment (Figure 2). At initial assessment, 45 (48%) with liver fibrosis staged greater than F3, including 25 (27%) with cirrhosis. Sixty-four patients initiated DAA therapy. Fifty-four patients completed treatment (84%). Forty patients achieved sustained virologic response (100%) and 14 patients who completed treatment await SVR labs. Conclusion Collocation of HCV care continuum in MAT setting is an effective way to achieve micro elimination of HCV. The follow-up of this marginalized population still remains challenging given the high rates of homelessness and incarceration. In this regard, coordinated care between MAT settings and prisons are likely to demonstrate successful elimination of hepatitis C. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures." @default.
