Viktor V. Chirikov, Fadia T. Shaya, Charles D. Howell – 7 March 2015 – Patient‐ and county‐level characteristics associated with advanced liver disease (ALD) at hepatitis C virus (HCV) diagnosis were examined in three Medicare cohorts: (1) elderly born before 1945; (2) disabled born 1945‐1965; and (3) disabled born after 1965. We used Medicare claims (2006‐2009) linked to the Area Health Resource Files. ALD was measured over the period of 6 months before to 3 months after diagnosis.
