The clinical spectrum of chronic hepatitis B ranges from no symptoms to progressive hepatic fibrosis, advanced cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. An estimated 296 million people have chronic hepatitis B, of whom 221 million live in low- and middle-income countries. Without intervention, deaths from HBV are expected to peak at 1.14 million by 2035. date: 2023-01-05 date_type: published publisher: MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC official_url: http://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMra2211764 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1999658 doi: 10.1056/NEJMra2211764 medium: Print lyricists_name: Maini, Mala lyricists_name: Dusheiko, Geoffrey lyricists_id: KMMAI99 lyricists_id: GDUSH53 actors_name: Maini, Mala actors_id: KMMAI99 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: New England Journal of Medicine volume: 388 pagerange: 55-69 pages: 15 event_location: United States citation: Dusheiko, Geoffrey; Agarwal, Kosh; Maini, Mala K; (2023) New Approaches to Chronic Hepatitis B.
