Key Points

To examine the incidence of HBV reactivation after HBsAg seroclearance among a population-based cohort in Japan.
Long-term follow-up of a population-based cohort
Monitoring for HBV reactivation-related events
Assessment of liver disease severity
Reactivation-related events were rare following HBsAg seroclearance
Suggests potential for incomplete viral eradication
Indicates the importance of careful long-term monitoring in at-risk individuals, especially those with advanced liver disease.

Abstract

Reactivation-related events after HBsAg seroclearance were rare in this population-based cohort. These findings suggest that HBsAg seroclearance may not necessarily indicate complete viral eradication and that careful long-term monitoring may be warranted, particularly in patients with advanced liver disease.
