Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is attributable to about 15% of cause of chronic liver disease in Korea. We aimed to study the epidemiological and clinical features of a prospective, multicenter cohort of HCV infection in Korea. Methods: A total 1,173 adult patients showing positive results for anti-HCV were prospectively enrolled and offered to complete the questionnaire survey on the risk factors of HCV infection from January 2007 to December 2011 at 5 university hospitals. Predefined demographic, clinical, and virological variables were collected and analysed. Results: The 1,173 subjects of the HCV cohort showed that mean age of 55.4 years, and male proportion of 48.3%, and diagnostic category of acute hepatitis (n=64, 5.5%), past infection (n=54, 4.6%), chronic hepatitis (n=772, 65.8%), liver cirrhosis (n=183, 15.6%), and hepatocellular carcinoma (n=100, 8.5%). The HCV genotypes were distributed into 5 types: genotype 1 (n=489, 52.4%), genotype 2 (n=421, 45.1%, genotype 3 (n=7, 0.8%), genotype 4 (n=2, 0.2%), and genotype 6 (n=9, 1.0%) with mixed genotypes (n=5, 0.5%). Hepatitis B virus coinfection rate was 3.5%. Liver biopsy was undertaken in (n=298, 20.0%), and the antiviral therapy against HCV had been undertaken in 42.8%. The risk factors were found as below: blood transfusion before 1995 (55.9%), needle stick injury (7.4%), acupuncture (82.5%), tattooing (36.0%), piercing (35.0%), intravenous drug abuse (IVDU) (5.0%), multiple sex partners more than 3 (21.0%), living with HCV-infected person (2.6%). Interestingly, patients living in Busan area showed higher frequency of IVDU (10.3%) compared to those in Capital area (4.5%).
