Key Words Chronic hepatitis B; Hepatitis B virus family history; Pegylated interferon-α; Hepatitis B surface antigen clearance; Mediation analysis
Core Tip Hepatitis B virus family history (HBFH) is significantly associated with a lower hazard of pegylated interferon-α-induced hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Approximately 37% of this negative association is mediated by elevated baseline HBsAg levels. Model-based analysis further suggested that HBFH-positive patients may require a lower baseline HBsAg level to achieve a probability of HBsAg clearance comparable to that of HBFH-negative patients.
