Prevalence and Risk Factors of Antiviral Resistance in Egyptian HBV Patients (PRARE-CHB)

November 27, 2025 updated by: Amira Mohamed Zidan

Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated With Resistance to Antiviral Therapy in Egyptian Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

This study aims to determine the prevalence of antiviral drug resistance among Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and to identify the associated demographic, clinical, and virological risk factors. Understanding patterns of resistance will help improve treatment selection and optimize long-term management strategies for HBV patients.

Study Population

Adult Egyptian patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and receiving antiviral therapy in routine clinical practice. Participants are recruited from outpatient hepatology and gastroenterology clinics and represent a real-life population of treated chronic HBV patients.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • This study will include all chronic HBV-infected patients, either cirrhotic or not, receiving TDF 300 mg, ETV 0.5 or 1mg, or lamivudine 100 mg, irrespective of HBeAg status. The HBV chronicity is defined by persistence of HbsAg positivity for more than 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients younger than 18 years old.
