Themain focus of this present work is to analyze the change of baseline characteristics of 17 093 HCV-patients with genotype 1a/1b with antiviral therapy in Germany between 2004 and 2018. We analyzed five periods (i) 2004-2007, (ii)2008-2010, (iii) 2010-2013, (iv) 2014-2016, (v) 2017-2018.  The present analysis is based on five German non-interventional registry studies and comprises data on 17 093 HCV-GT1 patients documented between 2004 and 2018 [ML17071, ML19464, ML21645, ML25724 (Peginterferon alfa-2a non-interventional study [PAN]) and the German Hepatitis C-Registry (DHC-R).  Overall, 7662 patients were infected with HCV GT1a and 9431 patients with HCV GT1b. GT1a patients were younger (46.5 years vs. 51.2 years) and more often male (70 % vs. 52 %). Previous or ongoing drug abuse was documented more frequently for GT1a patients throughout the study periods with highest frequencies in the most recent but not women, in Germany between 2004 and 2018. The present data show a fundamental change in HCV epidemiology, which has an impact on therapy management and general care of hepatitis C patients in Germany.  The number of invasive and non-invasive long-term out-of-hospital ventilations has been increasing rapidly for years. At the same time, there is poor information on the quality of care of out-of-hospital ventilated patients. The present investigation was conducted as part of the OVER-BEAS study. The aim of this study was to describe the care situation of weaning patients from admission to discharge from the weaning center using existing routine documentation.  In our retrospective analys
