We analyzed diagnosis codes for vaccine refusal and vaccination and current procedural terminology (CPT) codes to identify vaccination patterns. Generalized linear mixed effects models with a logit link were used to assess factors associated with vaccination patterns. Results HepB birth dose vaccination ...
Chronic Hepatitis B Carrier Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin Hepatitis B Vaccine Hepatitis B Postexposure Prophylaxis Viral Hepatitis advertisement II. Indications Universal screening for U.S. Adults is recommended as of 2023 Triple Screen(HBsAg, HBsAb, HBcAb) at least once in all adults regardless of risk...
Billing data are subject to miscoding, and no clinical data were used to confirm vaccine receipt. Exclusion of hemodialysis patients was based on CPT coding. Excluding clinical data from identification of these patients may have resulted in misclassification if the patient received a non-hemodialysis ...
Results The presence of CPT or drug codes for hepatitis A vaccine yielded a positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of 93.2% and 94.0%. The presence of hepatitis B vaccine codes yielded a PPV of 98.0% and an NPV of 94.0%. Among patients diagnosed with HCV ...
HBV causes acute and chronic hepatitis B; chronic HBV infection puts more than 250 million virus carriers at a greatly increased risk to develop terminal liver disease, i.e., liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [1]. While an effective prophyla...
Exacerbating the issue, there is currently no vaccine for HCV, and it is estimated that an additional 3–4 million new infections will occur each year3. Nonetheless, a large number of compounds have been successfully introduced by combining virological models with high-throughput screening approaches...
Vaccine-induced early control of hepatitis C virus infection in chimpanzees fails to impact on hepatic PD-1 and chronicity. Rollier CS,Paranhos-Baccala G,Verschoor EJ,Verstrepen BE,Drexhage JA,Fagrouch Z,Berland JL,Komurian-Pradel F,Duverger B,Himoudi N,Staib C,Meyr M,Whelan M,Whelan JA...

To date, there is no vaccine to prevent HCV infection and LT is invariably followed by infection of the liver graft. Within the past years, direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have had a major impact on the management of chronic hepatitis C, which has become a curable disease in the majority...
