title = "Mortality among patients with cleared hepatitis C virus infection compared to the general population: a Danish nationwide cohort study",
abstract = "The increased mortality in HCV-infected individuals partly stems from viral damage to the liver and partly from risk-taking behaviours. We examined mortality in patients who cleared their HCV-infection, comparing it to that of the general population. We also addressed the question whether prognosis differed according to age, substance abuse (alcohol abuse and injection drug use) and comorbidity.",
