Overview / Abstract: |
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious public health concern that is often underrated despite the approval of newer therapies and subsequent updated guidelines. Integrating guideline-directed treatment can reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with HBV. In this second episode of the four-part CMEOCast Podcast to Practice series "Meeting Patients Where They Live: Community-Based Efforts to Improve Screening and Treatment of HBV," faculty experts will discuss the efficacy and safety profiles of current agents for HBV, guiding clinicians through best practices when initiating or switching treatment.
