 Currently, information on the distinct aspects of treatment against HCV including DAAs under real-life conditions in Spain is scarce. Clinicians at the Infectious Diseases Units treat a high number of HCV monoinfected patients. These physicians are confronted with a patient population in which a history of drug abuse is predominant, the majority of the individuals having consumed injecting drugs, who frequently suffer psychiatric pathology and who receive concomitant therapy that cause problems regarding drug-drug interactions and adherence. Also, the HCV genotype distribution is different to what is observed in Hepatology Units, being the genotype 1a predominant as compared to 1b, 3 and 4. Taken into account what was mentioned above, these factors could cause different rates of SVR to DAAs, interruptions and voluntary drop-outs as compared to what has been reported, especially in the difficult-to-treat population.
