The 69th World Health Assembly endorsed the global health sector strategy on viral hepatitis to eliminate as a public threat by 2030. Achieving and measuring 2030 targets requires substantial increase in capacity test treat infections mechanism monitor progress of elimination. This study aimed identify gaps data availability or quality create new
Abstract Reducing hepatitis B virus (HBV) mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is a fundamental step toward the HBV elimination goal. The multicentred, multilevel SHIELD program aimed to use an intense intervention package reduce MTCT in China. This study was conducted diverse health settings across China, encompassing 30,109 pregnant women from 178 hospitals, part of interim analysis stage II program, and 8,642 160 community-level facilities III program. found that overall rate 0.23% (39...
Objectives Nation-wide hepatitis B vaccination coverage among healthcare workers (HCWs) is not well researched in China. This study aims to investigate the self-reported status HCWs Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey of health_care workers' statuses 120 hospitals China by collecting demographic and data. Univariate multivariate logistic regression analysis were used assess factors associated with coverage. Results Eighty-six percent (2,666/3,104) respondents reported having...
Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an emerging disease in Odisha, a state eastern coastal India. Difficult to diagnose, the likely be severely underreported. Seroprevalence studies general population are deemed necessary for estimate of melioidosis endemicity and explore associated risk factors. A population-based cross-sectional seroprevalence study was conducted using Indirect Hemagglutination Assay (IHA) among 1920 participants aged 5-60 years residing six out thirty...
To determine whether non-anaemic women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosed in third trimester pregnancy have evidence of increased iron stores compared matched non-diabetic controls.In a prospective study, who had antenatal booking before 20 weeks' gestation and without anaemia or were recruited at the time oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 28-31 for study serum ferritin, transferrin concentrations. The results blinded to managing obstetricians. After delivery, records...
Treating high-risk women with antivirals in their third trimester is a promising intervention to further reduce perinatal transmission neonates born hepatitis B surface antigen positive [HBsAg(+)] mothers.We estimated the number of infections based on coverage and effectiveness immunization. We compared cost-effectiveness different approaches identify for antiviral treatment, by region urban/rural residence.Of 16.59 million live births 2015, 1.04 infants (6.3%) were HBsAg(+) mothers 268 201...
Abstract Background In 2016, the first global viral hepatitis elimination targets were endorsed. An estimated one-third of world’s population individuals with chronic B virus (HBV) infection live in China and liver cancer is sixth leading cause mortality, but coverage first-line antiviral treatment was low. 2015, one countries to initiate a consultative process for renewed approach hepatitis. We present investment case scale-up comprehensive package HBV interventions. Methods A dynamic...
Globally, one-third of individuals infected with HBV live in China. Eliminating China would therefore be paramount achieving the World Health Organization's (WHO's) targets viral hepatitis elimination as a worldwide public health threat.We constructed dynamic transmission model China, structured by age and sex. We calibrated HBsAg prevalence, acute incidence, nationally reported HBV-related cancer mortality. investigated seven intervention scenarios (A-G) based on assumptions diagnostic,...
To assess chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients' knowledge about and their experience of discrimination with regard to study, work, daily life.We administered a questionnaire 797 CHB patients in four provinces China used one-way analysis variance (ANOVA) generalized linear model (GLM) identify factors associated discrimination.CHB had low levels B. Patients under 40 years age junior college education or above knew more than over who only high school education. Three-fourths experienced because...
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a key population at high risk for hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) infections. We aim to study HBV vaccination coverage, seroprevalence, knowledge, attitudes, practices towards HCV infections among HCWs in public sector Cambodia. A nationally representative cross-sectional was implemented 2019, Cambodian HCWs. standardized questionnaire administered randomly selected whose blood then sampled. used univariate multivariate regression determine predictors of outcomes....
