Natural History of HBV infection
 Diagnosis allows monitoring and treatment where
indicated, which improves outcome and has been
shown to be cost effective
UK burden of chronic
hepatitis B

Estmated 320 000 people in the UK with
chronic hepatitis B infection
Chronic HBV infection arising from acute
HBV infection in resident UK
population
Chronic HBV infection imported by
people who acquired infection prior
to migration to the UK
269 per year
6,571 per year

Cost effectiveness of screening
migrants

ICER of £20,900 per additional QALY
respectively, assuming:




HBV prevalence 2%,
cost of the intervention was £20 per person
invited for a test,
17.5% chance of testing over a period of 6
months as a result of the intervention.
Large amount of uncertainty

Local implementation


The NICE recommendation was not
accompanied by a national screening
program.
NICE recommended that the increased
testing should be commissioned at a local
or regional level
Gaps in knowledge



Are GPs already routinely testing migrants
for hepatitis B?
What proportion of UK migrants have
already been tested?
What is the prevalence of chronic hepatitis
B in UK migrant populations?
Our project aimed to answer
these questions for the Bristol
migrant population through
three studies

Question: Prior to NICE guidance (December 2012
PH43), did you perform opportunistic testing for
hepatitis B for patients born in regions of high
hepatitis B prevalence (eg. China, sub-Saharan
Africa)?

Study 3: Prevalence of chronic
hepatitis B in Bristol migrant
populations – retrospective data
analysis

We used the prevalence in women who
gave birth as a surrogate for population
prevalence as pregnant women are
routinely screened for HBV

Conclusions (1)




Data suggests that most Bristol GPs have not
been routinely testing migrants
The majority of Bristol migrants eligible for
testing under NICE were not tested locally
during the study period
Testing of children is particularly poor
HBV infection will continue to cause avoidable
mortality and morbidity amongst migrants unless
testing increases.
Conclusions (2)


There is a considerable range of HBV
infection prevalence within Bristol migrant
populations
More than half of the population of Bristol
migrants eligible for testing under NICE
belong to populations with local estimated
prevalence <2%
