Trends in the disease burden of HBV and HCV infection in China from 1990-2019

TYTingting YueQZQuanquan ZhangTCTing Cai

Key Points

  • To evaluate the long-term trends and epidemiology of HBV and HCV disease burden and incidence between 1990 and 2019.
  • Assessed longitudinal epidemiological trends in HBV and HCV infection burden across a 30-year timeframe (1990–2019) in China.
  • The overall disease burden associated with HBV and HCV infections decreased over the 30-year observation period.
  • HBV incidence rates remained elevated despite burden reductions, disproportionately affecting men.

Abstract

The disease burden of HBV/HCV infection has decreased in China over the past 30 years, but HBV incidences remain high, especially in men. Effective management of HBV and HCV infections is still needed for high-risk populations.
