Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical profiles and treatment patterns of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis in real-world clinical setting in China. Methods The demographic, clinical and treatment data were analyzed from enrolled patients in China Registry of Hepatitis B. Results A total of 5263 patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis were included in the study, including 2013 (38.2%) patients with compensated status, 2752 patients (52.3%) with decompensated status and 498 patients (9.5%) unspecified. From 2010 to 2019, the proportion of patients ≥ 50 years old in those diagnosed with cirrhosis increased from 45.6% to 57.9%, the hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) positive rate decreased from 47.4% to 35.8%, and the use of the first-line antiviral drugs (entecavir or tenofovir) increased from 41.9% to 92.8%. Conclusion The real-world study demonstrated that the age of patients with diagnosis of cirrhosis gradually increased, the HBeAg positive rate gradually decreased, and the use of first-line antiviral drugs dramatically increased.
