This study aimed to assess HBV prevalence and identify associated risk factors in this province. Data was collected from three cross-sectional population studies: (1) adults in 2015 (n = 1,667, age 30–64 years), (2) young adults in 2017 (n = 1,453, age 18–30 years), both from high HCV-endemic districts, and (3) a province-wide study in 2018 (n = 4,769, age 35–64 years). Plasma samples were tested for HBsAg using the ARCHITECT assay. Results showed HBsAg seropositivity in 3.1 % of young adults in high-endemic districts, with significant associations with age, education, injecting drug use, and MSM behavior. Among adults, HBsAg prevalence was 5.9 %, linked to age and family liver disease history. Province-wide, 6.3 % of adults tested positive, with factors like gender and history of blood donation playing significant roles. Notably, age and blood donation were protective factors against HBV in adults. Analysis revealed a moderate HBV prevalence in those born before Thailand Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) program, while those born after had rates below 1 %. The findings emphasize distinct HBV transmission patterns in different age groups, influenced by social and behavioral shifts. This knowledge is crucial for effective hepatitis elimination strategies in the Phetchabun province and nationwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Virus Eradication","volume":"10 4","pages":"Article 100577"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11699449/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But real-world data on its effectiveness and safety remains scarce for patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in China, especially those with HCV GT3b, cirrhosis, hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC), or HCV/hepatitis B (HBV), HCV/HIV, or HCV/HBV/HIV coinfection.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>In this real-world prospective observational study, we recruited patients from the West China Hospital and Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu in China. Patients included adults with with CHC and any genotype (GT), with or without cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), HCV/HBV, HCV/HIV, or HCV/HBV/HIV coinfection. Patients were administered SOF/VEL (400/100 mg) ± ribavirin (RBV) once daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was sustained virological response at post-treatment week 12 (SVR12). Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated during treatment.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The study included 483 patients with HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3, 6 and uncertain ones. Among them, 35.4 % (171/483, ITT) and 36.7 % (166/452, mITT) received SOF/VEL + RBV. At the end of treatment , 99.2 % (ITT, 479/483) and 99.1 % (mITT, 448/452) of patients had undetectable HCV RNA. SVR12 rates were 92.8 % [intention to treat (ITT), 448/483] and 99.1 % [modified ITT (mITT), 448/452]. In the mITT analysis, SVR12 for patients with HCV GT3b, those with cirrhosis or HCC, and those coinfected with HBV/HIV was 99.2 % (130/131), 99.4 % (168/169), and 97.6 % (40/41), respectively.
