TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.

TL;DR: The estimate of HBV prevalence in 2016 differs from previous studies, potentially because it took into account the effect of infant prophylaxis and early childhood vaccination, as well as changing prevalence over time.

TL;DR: The HCC risk decreases beyond year 5 of ETV/TDF therapy in Caucasian chronic hepatitis B patients, particularly in those with compensated cirrhosis; older age (especially ≥50 years), lower platelets, and liver stiffness ≥12 kPa at year 5 represent the main risk factors for late HCC development.
