"We observed a significant rise of the HCV incidence over calendar years (p<0.001) with no decline observed in recent years; ranging from 0.7 (95%CI=0.1-5) in 1990 to 18 (95%CI=9-35) in 2014 per 1,000 py in method 1 (Figure 1)......Trends differ by geographical region; in recent years, HCV incidence seems to be increasing in Southern and Northern Europe whereas in Western Europe, HCV incidence seems to be stabilizing (not shown)."
