An anti-HDV prevalence of 5.6% was observed among adult Omani patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.
Blood transfusions were strongly linked to anti-HDV positivity with an odds ratio of 19.94, while male sex showed lower odds.
This multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled 639 adults, collecting extensive clinical and lab data related to hepatitis D.
Given the low prevalence of HDV viremia, efficient targeted screening for high-risk groups can be beneficial.
