In 2011, The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ECDC<\/jats:styled-content>) introduced enhanced surveillance of hepatitis C across <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EU<\/jats:styled-content>\/<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EEA<\/jats:styled-content> countries collecting routine data from national notification systems using standardized case definitions. Data collected from 2006 to 2012 indicate a high burden of disease with great variation in reported cases between countries. Most cases occurred among young adult males, and although injecting drug use dominated across all cases, there were increasing numbers of acute cases reported among men who have sex with men. Geographically, the reported data were the inverse of what may be expected based on findings from recent prevalence surveys in a number of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EU<\/jats:styled-content>\/<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">EEA<\/jats:styled-content> countries. Unexpectedly, low figures were reported through notification systems in some southern and eastern European countries where prevalence is known from surveys to be high. This discrepancy highlights the limitation of surveillance data for a disease such as hepatitis C which is largely asymptomatic until a late stage, so that notifications reflect testing practices rather than real occurrence of disease. Further improvements to the quality of the data are important to increase data utility. Improved understanding of national testing practices is necessary to allow a better interpretation of surveillance results. Additional epidemiological studies alongside routine case\u2010based reporting in notification systems should also be considered to better estimate the true disease burden across Europe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jvh.12367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,25]],"date-time":"2014-11-25T06:25:48Z","timestamp":1416896748000},"page":"590-595","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Enhanced surveillance of hepatitis C in the <scp>EU<\/scp>, 2006 \u2013 2012"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"E.
