Version 1.8 of HepatiC is already available. This includes much more data, new treatments and tests. The interface has been improved for ease of use, based on the 3 year daily user experiences of clinicians, research nurses, data collection staff and statisticians. Version 1.8 will imminently be released and presented at the AASLD meeting in Boston. We would like to continue working with you and see how we can further implement HepatiC at your site, for your routine use and research and also to enable you to produce more publications.
