Epidemiology and natural history of chronic Hepatitis B in the Canadian province of Alberta from 2012 to 2021: A population-based study
CHB incidence decreased in Alberta, which is consistent with nationwide trends. Males and individuals aged 45-64 had higher CHB incidence and prevalence. CHB patients' lower survival rates emphasize the need to address barriers to guideline recommended HBV care linkage.
