Gender differences in hepatitis C virus incidence in and out of opioid agonist treatment among people who inject drugs in Montréal, Canada, March 2011–March 2024
We found similar HCV incidence among women and men who inject drugs in Montréal; however, among OAT-eligible men, OAT engagement was strongly associated with a lower risk of HCV acquisition. These findings highlight that gender disparities in HCV, as observed in some settings, are not consistent. Further research is needed to determine factors underlying gender differences
HCV treatment initiation in the era of universal direct acting antiviral coverage – Improvements in access and persistent barriers
Treatment initiation rates have increased since the introduction of universal DAA coverage, though barriers such as incarceration persist
Transitioning from interferon-based to direct antiviral treatment options
Incarceration history and risk of HIV and hepatitis C virus acquisition among people who inject drugs
Short-term injection drug use changes following hepatitis C virus (HCV) assessment and treatment among persons who inject drugs with acute HCV infection
Hepatitis C Virus seroconversion among persons who inject drugs in relation to primary care physician visiting
A longitudinal study of hepatitis C virus testing and infection status notification on behaviour change in people who inject drugs
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and counselling have the potential to impact individual behaviour and transmission dynamics at the population level. Evidence of the impact of an HCV-positive status notification on injection risk reduction is limited. The objective of our study was to (1) assess drug and alcohol use and injection risk behaviours following notification; (2) to compare behaviour change in people who inject drugs (PWID) w…
Hypertriglyceridemic waist and newly-diagnosed diabetes among remote-dwelling Indigenous Australians
HTgW has a high prevalence and is associated with newly-diagnosed diabetes in Indigenous people, particularly those with BMI <22 kg/m(2), whom clinicians might not normally consider for screening
Sex, age, deprivation and patterns in life expectancy in Quebec, Canada
Similar to the US, differentials in life expectancy associated with area-level material deprivation increased steadily in Québec from 1989-2004 for males and females of all ages. Differentials were comparable between men and women at advanced ages. Previous research indicating that life expectancy differentials between most and least deprived areas are greater in men may be due to a focus on younger age groups
Availability of body art facilities and body art piercing do not predict hepatitis C acquisition among injection drug users in Montreal, Canada
Associations between HIV-related injection behaviour and distance to and patterns of utilisation of syringe-supply programmes
BACKGROUND: Studies indicate that needle-exchange programmes (NEPs) can reduce the incidence of HIV infection; however, a positive impact of syringe-supply programmes has not been consistently demonstrated. The associations between high-risk injection behaviour and distance to and patterns of utilisation of syringe-supply programmes in injection drug users (IDUs) were investigated. METHODS: Participants in a cohort of IDUs (n = 456) residing in M…
