Abstract
cHCV infection does not affect overall mortality in the first decade after seroconversion, compared with individuals who resolve HCV infection; however, during the second decade after infection, individuals with cHCV have an increased risk for all-cause mortality. Mortality from liver-related causes was low but might have been masked by competing mortality.
