91黑料网 does not support PQRS 89: 鈥淗epatitis C: Counseling Regarding Risk of Alcohol Consumption.鈥 Although we recognize that discussing alcohol consumption with Hepatitis C-infected patients is good clinical practice, there is little evidence that doing so improves clinical outcomes or that a 12-month interval for counseling is appropriate.
