Abstract
Iowans diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C: In 2021, 741 Iowans were diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, a 10% decrease in the number of people newly diagnosed with confirmed, chronic hepatitis C compared to 2021. The decrease was among people in the ‘baby boomer’ population, as well as among those less than 40 years of age. The number of diagnoses in 2021 was well below the previous 5 year average of 1,297 diagnoses annually from 2016 to 2020.
