Differing Profiles of People Diagnosed with Acute & Chronic Hepatitis B Virus in BC

 

In this study, we describe the characteristics of individuals diagnosed with acute and chronic HBV infections and identify the factors associated with HBV infection within the BC Hepatitis Testers Cohort (BC-HTC). We are unaware of any study comparing large population level data for both acute and chronic HBV. Study findings should inform prevention and screening programs within BC.
