Study population: Participants with chronic hepatitis C virus infection, genotype 1, receiving combination therapy with the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN ± ribavirin

Brief summary: The interferon-free combination regimen of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir with or without dasabuvir (ABBVIE REGIMEN) ± ribavirin (RBV) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been shown to be safe and effective in randomized controlled clinical trials with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria under well-controlled conditions. This observational study was the first effectiveness research examining the ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV, used according to the local label, under real world conditions in Ireland in a clinical practice patient population.

Detailed description: This was a prospective, multi-center observational study in participants receiving the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN ± RBV in Ireland. The prescription of a treatment regimen was at the discretion of the physician in accordance with local clinical practice and label, was made independently from this observational study and preceded the decision to offer the participant the opportunity to participate in this study. Adults chronically infected with HCV, receiving the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN, were offered the opportunity to participate in this study during a routine clinical visit at the participating sites. Follow-up visits, treatment, procedures, and diagnostic methods followed physicians' routine clinical practice. Data were collected at the following time windows: baseline, early on-treatment visit, mid-treatment visit (for participants with a treatment duration of 24 weeks), end of treatment (EoT), early post- treatment and 12 and 24 weeks after the end of treatment (representing sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the end of treatment \[SVR12\] and sustained virologic response 24 weeks after the end of treatment \[SVR24\]).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Treatment-naïve or -experienced adult male or female participants with confirmed chronic hepatitis C (CHC), genotype 1, receiving combination therapy with the interferon-free ABBVIE REGIMEN ± ribavirin (RBV) according to standard of care and in line with the current local label
* If RBV was co-administered with the ABBVIE REGIMEN, it had to be prescribed in line with the current local label (with special attention to contraception requirements and contraindication during pregnancy)
* Participants had to voluntarily sign and date an informed consent form prior to inclusion into the study
* Participants must not have participated or intended to participate in a concurrent interventional therapeutic trial

Exclusion Criteria:

- None
