Brief Summary

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health issue with 257 million chronically infected individuals. Of note, China has the largest population accounting for one third of the world's infected population. Approximately, about 300 000 people die each year due to the consequences of HBV. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed the goal for elimination of hepatitis B as public health threat by 2030 and China will be a major contributor towards this global goal. Currently, two approved therapeutic strategies are available including pegylated interferon (IFN) or nucleos (t) ide analogues (NA), which could suppress HBV replication and slow disease progression. Here, investigators hope to launch a cohort study to reveal the clinical features relating to therapeutic efficacy of antiviral therapy and the prognosis of patients with differential therapeutic strategies.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 79 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

The chronic HBV-infected patients with differential antiviral strategies were recruited and separated to peg-IFN-alpha alone, NAs alone or combination treatment groups according to their antiviral therapies. The clinical outcomes of patients with differential treatments were compared during the follow-up management.

You may qualify if:

  • patients with evidence of chronic HBV infection

You may not qualify if:

  • chronic liver injury mainly caused by other reasons, such as autoimmune diseases, alcohol, drugs and so on.
