Figure. — Major steps along the hepatitis C virus (HCV) care cascade in the study population of incarcerated HCV-infected persons (n = 217), Vermont, December 2018–June 2020. Data were obtained through a retrospective, observational cohort study of all HCV-infected persons who were imprisoned in Vermont during the study period. HCV infection determined by detectable serum HCV RNA. At Step A, drop-off was 4 patients: 3 with spontaneous HCV clearance and 1 from early release. At Step B, drop-off was 84 patients: 38 from patient refusal, 23 from early release, 14 who were detainers (ie, incarcerated persons awaiting sentencing), and 9 with spontaneous HCV clearance. At Step C, drop-off was 10 patients: 8 from early release and 2 from patient refusal. At Step D, drop-off was 8 patients: 6 from early release and 2 from patient refusal. Abbreviations: DAA, direct-acting antiviral; SVR12, sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-treatment.
