Low incidence of hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion in patients treated with oral nucleos(t)ides in routine practice.
J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2013; (5): 855-60
Treatment end-point of therapy for patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) includes HBeAg seroconversion, which ranges from 15% to 22% after 1 year of oral nucleos(t)ides according to clinical trials. Our goal was to determine the incidence and predictors of HBeAg seroconversion in such patients in routine clinical practice because they may differ than reported rates.
