Background: Chronic hepatitis C is a common entity which is frequently associated with depression. Aim: To determine the frequency of depression in patients of chronic hepatitis C who had not yet received treatment. Settings: Department of Gastroenterology and Medicine at Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Study design: Cross sectional Descriptive study Methods: Total 217 patients were enrolled. Each patient was interviewed and then marked down by the doctor himself. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9) (annexure 2 attached) was applied to determine the presence of depression. Depression was managed as per hospital protocol. The study was conducted from 10th April, 2018 to 9th October, 2018 Results: In this study mean age was 45 years with standard deviation ± 11.33. 62% patients were male, 38% patients were female. More over 57% patients had depression while 43% patients didn’t have depression. Conclusion: Our study concluded that there was a significant association between depression and chronic hepatitis C patients before they have started their treatment, in tertiary care hospital.

Background and objectives- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, with majority of the patients being asymptomatic and when they present to clinicians, they have already advanced liver disease in form of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Data from developing countries on this evolving global health problem are sparse. Hence this study was planned with the aim to determine the HCV genotypes prevalant in patients attending a tertiary care hospital with their clinical prole. Materials and Methods- Detailed history taking and clinical examination were done of consecutive 30 patients who attended out-patient department or admitted at in- patient department of Tropical Medicine with chronic hepatitis C. Laboratory investigations like LFT, viral serology (HBsAg, AntiHCV, HIV), prothrombin time, ultrasonography of upper abdomen, HCV- RNA Quantative assay with genotyping were done. Data were collected and then analysed using standard statistical methods. Result- Of proposed 30 sample size, complete data could be collected of 28 patients and accordingly, analysis was done. Of the 28 HCV seroreactive individuals, majority (20) were males. The mode of transmission was unknown in 19 patients, blood transfusion in 5 patients who were thalassemic and hemodialysis in remaining 4 patients. Most of the patients (18/28) were asymptomatic even if their viral load was high. Most common presenting symptom was dyspepsia. LFT showed signicant transaminitis in 50% of the patients. Of the 28 seroreactive patients, 15 (53.57%) were HCV RNA positive based on RT-PCR. HCV rNA was below detectable level in 13 patients. HCV genotype 3 was the predominant genotype found in 11 individuals followed by genotype 1 found in 3 and genotype 2 was seen in one individual. Conclusion- Community screening specially among high risk individuals is needed for early diagnosis and prompt treatment of chronic hepatitis C to prevent its several complications and also to prevent community spread.

Objectives: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a leading cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. However, there is a lack of data regarding the epidemiology of CHC in Oman. This study aimed to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of CHC-infected patients at a tertiary care hospital in Oman. Methods: This retrospective descriptive hospital-based study included all CHC-infected patients who presented to the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Muscat, Oman, between January 2010 and December 2015. The baseline demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiological data of the patients were analysed. Results: A total of 603 CHC-infected patients were identified during the study period; of these, 65.8% were male and the mean age was 44.8 ± 16.5 years. The main risk factors associated with CHC infection were intravenous drug abuse (23.9%) and a history of blood transfusions (20.7%). The most prevalent virus genotypes were 1 and 3 (44.0% and 35.1%, respectively). Upon initial presentation, 33.0% of the cohort had liver cirrhosis; of these, 48.7% had decompensated cirrhosis and 23.1% had HCCs. Liver transplantation was only performed for 7.5% of the cirrhosis patients, mostly as a curative treatment for HCC. Conclusion: The implementation of national policies to prevent hepatitis C transmission and encourage the early screening of at-risk patients is recommended to reduce the burden and consequences of this disease in Oman.
