Abstract:A complete investigation of the clinical outcomes after treatment cessation in HBeAg‐positive patients with HBeAg loss is limited. We retrospectively recruited 242 HBeAg‐positive patients with HBeAg loss after a median duration of 37.2 months with tenofovir (TDF, n=77) or entecavir (ETV, n=165) treatment. There were 77 (31.8%) patients with sustained virological remission (SVR), 85 (35.1%) with HBeAg‐reversion virological relapse, 80 (33.1%) with HBeAg‐negative virological relapse after treatment cessation, an… Show more
