Patient education improves adherence to peg-interferon and ribavirin in chronic genotype 2 or 3 hepatitis C virus infection: A prospective, real-life, observational study

Figure 2 Impact of patient therapeutic education on adherence to treatment (A and B) and virological response (C). At 3 mo of treatment, the proportion of patients adhering to treatment (patient self-report) was similar in the two groups. At 6 mo, the proportion of adherents dropped in patients without therapeutic education only. The virological response was better in educated patients, with an increased rate of SVR and a lower relapse rate.
