Predictive value of HBeAg titer dynamics for HBsAg clearance in pediatric chronic hepatitis B
Early HBeAg titer dynamics combined with age at treatment initiation may serve as useful predictors of HBsAg clearance in pediatric CHB. Our predictive model, utilizing readily available semi-quantitative HBeAg measurements, could potentially assist clinicians in therapeutic decision-making and individualized treatment strategies.
