Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the best methods for preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after liver transplantation in HBV-infected patients, comparing a combination of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and high-potency nucleos(t)ide analogues (HPNAs) versus HPNAs alone.
- Using a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers analyzed data from 16 studies with 7,897 patients and found similar rates of HBV recurrence and overall survival between the two treatment strategies after liver transplantation.
- The results suggest that HPNAs monotherapy (particularly entecavir) is as effective as the combination with HBIG, potentially alleviating concerns about the safety and efficacy of using HPNAs alone for long
