Analysis of a PCORnet® database identifies multi-level predictors of delta hepatitis in a U.S. hotspot
Key Points
The aim is to identify factors that predict delta hepatitis infection in a high prevalence area in the U.S.
Analyzed data from the PCORnet® database
Focused on regions with high delta hepatitis prevalence
Examined multi-level predictors of infection
Delta hepatitis is under-detected in high-prevalence areas
Early linkage to treatment is critical due to rapid liver disease progression
Abstract
HDV is undertested and under-detected, even in a high-prevalence US region. Early linkage to treatment is essential given high rates of liver disease progression.
