Global, regional, and national burden of hepatitis B, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Brittney S. Sheena et al.

Summary: This study estimated the global, regional, and national prevalence of HBV, as well as mortality and DALYs due to HBV in 2019. It found a decline in HBV infection rates in different age groups, but an increase in HBV-related deaths. Many countries have reached the target for HBV infection rates in children, but targets for reducing deaths and cases have not been met, and progress needs to be accelerated to achieve the 2030 goals.

Mother-to-Child Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus in Ethiopia

Asgeir Johannessen et al.

Summary: In this study conducted in Ethiopia, it was found that one in seven women with chronic hepatitis B had risk factors for mother-to-child transmission, with HBeAg being a poor predictor of high viral load. Additionally, one in ten children born of HBV-infected women acquired HBV infection despite completing their scheduled vaccination.

Eric Nagaonle Some et al.

Summary: The study aimed to describe the epidemiological and diagnostic features in an outpatient cohort with chronic HBeAg-negative hepatitis B in Burkina Faso. The majority of patients had a high viral load, low to moderate inflammatory activity, or fibrosis stage. The proportions of negative HBeAg in chronic hepatitis B patients are increasing in Burkina Faso.
