Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Pregnancy |
|
Extending the HCV New Data to HIV Coinfections |
|
Occult HBV |
|
|
| Hepatologists, primary care physicians, infectious disease specialists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and others involved in caring for patients with viral hepatitis |
After completing this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to: |
|
Identify and screen patients at risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV) |
| |
Counsel patients about their HBV status for treatment and/or vaccination |
| |
Expand treatment options based on the evidence supporting the use of new and emerging therapies in particular patient types |
| |
Recognize and manage the side effects of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment |
|
Better interpret and understand positive HBV screening |
|
Implement proven treatment regimens and refer patients as needed |
|
Compare new treatment options based on the evidence supporting the use of new and emerging therapies |
|
Effectively tailor HCV treatment in coinfected patients |
| Screening at-risk patients for viral hepatitis, interpreting screening results, and treating those who test positive (or vaccinating those who are at risk) is less than optimal, and the prevalence of advanced liver disease is rising. |
|
HBV is 100 times more infectious than HIV. |
|
1.7 million people with HBV living in the US have not been screened. |
|
Hepatitis C affects 5 million people in the US. |
|
| With more than 23,000 articles on viral hepatitis having been published in the last year, 5,443 articles on hepatitis B, and 7,073 on hepatitis C, how do you: |
|
Find time to process all of this information? |
|
Check it for accuracy and relevance? |
|
Translate research findings into bedside practices? |
|
| Practice change is required to address this public health problem, and increased knowledge is the first step toward achieving practice change. The eViralHepatitis Review provides evidence-based information that can immediately be put to use to screen patients for viral hepatitis. |
