The Determining Effective Testing in Emergency Departments and Care Coordination on Treatment Outcomes (DETECT) for HCV Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HCV Screening for Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 147,533 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose to compare the effectiveness of nontargeted rapid opt-out hepatitis C (HCV) screening versus targeted rapid opt-out HCV screening using recommended risk characteristics in multiple urban emergency departments (EDs) across the United States (Aim 1 - "Screening Trial").
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The investigators will perform a prospective pragmatic randomized effectiveness trial that will allow the investigators to directly compare 2 HCV screening methods while minimizing threats to internal validity. Patients will be screened for HCV infection using 1 of 2 interventions using a balanced patient-level random allocation scheme built into existing EHRs for each ED.
