• Description:
  Laboratory-based hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance cascades are an important tool for health departments to track progress toward HCV elimination, but a laboratory-based definition of HCV clearance has not yet been validated.
  
  To compare agreement between a laboratory-based HCV clearance definition with a clinical cure definition.
  
  Observational.
  
  New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene HCV surveillance system data and New York City hepatitis C linkage-to-care program data.
  
  Linkage-to-care program participants who were diagnosed with hepatitis C and enrolled in the linkage-to-care program from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2020.
  
  Percent agreement between a laboratory-based HCV clearance definition (surveillance system) and a clinical cure definition (program data).
  
  Among 591 program participants with known treatment outcome, the laboratory-based HCV clearance definition and clinical cure definition were concordant in 573 cases (97%).
  
  A laboratory-based HCV clearance definition based on public health surveillance data can be a reliable source for monitoring HCV elimination.
