Study summary

This is a retrospective, prospective, noninterventive, multicenter registry study. Patients diagnosed with HDV infection (based on positive HDV RNA) were included in this study and were followed up for at least 5 years to evaluate their disease progression and clinical outcomes (including death, liver transplantation, hepatocellular carcinoma [hcc], liver decompensation, and cirrhosis) during the 5-year follow-up period. All patients were followed up at least once a year after they were included in the study.

It was in 2016 HDV infection first reported in China. Since January 1, 2016, all patients diagnosed with HDV infection can be enrolled in this study and evidence confirming the diagnosis (including but not limited to HDV RNA test reports and medical records, etc.) must be delivered. The main test results (including serum HDV RNA, ALT, and tests to determine the presence of liver cirrhosis, decompensation of liver function, and liver cancer such as B-ultrasound and FibroScan) of these patients each year from diagnosis to enrollment should be collected and filled in the case report form (CRF).

Follow-up data of patients with serum anti-HDV positive and HDV RNA negative can be recorded and followed up on this platform, with informed consent of the patients is required. Patients whose serum HBV RNA turn positive during the follow-up period will be included in the follow-up cohort of the study.

HDV-infected individuals with a positive HDV RNA test result

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults aged 18 or above, both sex;
  • Evidence of a positive test for HDV RNA can be provided on or before the enrollment date;
  • Able to sign written .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The incidence of death of patients infected with HDV during 5-year follow-up

    HDV means hepatitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. The incidence of liver transplantation of patients infected with HDV during 5-year follow-up

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  3. The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma of patients infected with HDV during 5-year follow-up

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  4. The incidence of liver decompensation of patients infected with HDV during 5-year follow-up

    liver decompensation means ascites, variceal bleeding, or hepatic encephalopathy

    Time frame: 5 years

  5. The incidence of cirrhosis of patients infected with HDV during 5-year follow-up

    Patients who developed cirrhosis in the absence of cirrhosis at baseline by liver biopsy or noninvasive testing

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Demographic characteristics of HDV-infected individuals using baseline data

    Demographic characteristics: age, sex, height, weight, nationality, main residence, economic level.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Epidemiological characteristics of HDV-infected individuals using baseline data

    Risk factors for infection/possible route of infection, HDV genotype

    Time frame: 1 year

  3. Serum HDV RNA levels of patients infected with HDV

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  4. Serum HBV DNA levels of patients infected with HDV

    HBV means hepaitis B virus, HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  5. HBsAg concentration levels of patients infected with HDV

    HBsAg means Hepatitis B surface antigen,HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  6. Serum alanine aminotransferase concentration levels of patients infected with HDV

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  7. Serum total bilirubin concentration levels of patients infected with HDV

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  8. Serum albumin levels concentration levels of patients infected with HDV

    HDV means hepaitis D virus

    Time frame: 5 years

  9. Child-Pugh scores of patients infected with HDV

    The Child-Pugh classification is a universal scoring system of the degree of liver failure in patients with cirrhosis. Variables measured by this system include ascites, encephalopathy, serum albumin, bilirubin, and prothrombin time. Traditionally, the Child-Pugh class (A, B, or C) has been used as a predictive index for operative mortality rate in adult patients undergoing portosystemic shunting procedures. The estimated 1- and 5-year survival rates are 95% and 75% for patients with Child-Pugh class B, and 85% and 50% for patients with Child-Pugh class C.

    Time frame: 5 years
