The laboratories accounted for approximately half of all new HCV notifications in 2007. Of the 2,206 newly diagnosed cases, 21 (1.0%) were newly acquired, 18 of which had not been identified under the current surveillance system, increasing the total number of newly acquired cases to 83 from 65. This increased the yield by 28% and increased the proportion of newly acquired cases from 65/4,192 (1.6%) to 83/4,196 (2.0%). Laboratory-identified cases were significantly more likely than NSW Health-identified cases to be aged 30 years or over. Combined with current reporting mechanisms, laboratory data on previous HCV test results have the potential to increase the number of newly acquired cases identified through the New South Wales surveillance system and to enhance the identification of cases among those aged 30 years or more.
