Treatment Prioritisation and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis for HBV Cure - Real-World Evidence from a Territory-Wide Cohort

A territory-wide cohort study of all patients with chronic hepatitis B who have achieved functional cure of HBV. Real-world data will be used to estimate the risk of HCC, hepatic decompensation, and liver-related death for the subsequent simulation of HCC risk in particular populations of patients who achieved HBV cure. Literature search also be performed in parallel to cross-validate the estimates in untreated patients, and treated patients with incomplete or complete viral suppression with different stages of fibrosis based on existing literature. An optional systematic review and meta-analysis may be performed the address these issues.
