Hepatitis Delta Virus Infection: Cross-sectional Study in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

NCT06638320 | Active Not Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: TA0001
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 2,452
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) and the distribution of the HDV genotype in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. It will also identify factors related to hepatitis D virus infection, such as characteristics of the study sample, vaccination history, drug use affecting hepatitis, family factors, environment, and lifestyle. This study will be conducted at Tam Anh General Hospital, Bach Mai Hospital and Tam Anh TP. Ho Chi Minh General Hospital. Participants will be interviewed directly through a questionnaire to collect some information related to epidemiological risk factors. A blood sample will also be collected.

Conditions

Hepatitis Delta With Hepatitis B Carrier State; Chronic Hepatitis b

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection

  The method of estimating prevalence based on the assumption of binary distribution will be applied to the entire study sample and each subgroup. The prevalence rate will be estimated by dividing the number of positive cases by the sample size. The 95% confidence interval of the prevalence will be calculated based on the binary distribution assumption. Prevalence will be estimated for each sex, age, and disease group (chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B with hepatocellular carcinoma, and cirrhosis).
