Summary:[...]we believe that this population should not be excluded as it is important to consider their health-related quality of life as necessary information for their care and also for developing cost-utility studies. [...]we suggest that in the case of patients with cognitive impairment, researchers should interview the caregiver because this person is a reliable source of information in patients with chronic disease such as HCV infection.
