Factors associated with delayed diagnosis of hepatitis B in southeastern Sydney
One-third of people with HBV-related advanced liver disease complications are diagnosed late, reducing opportunities for effective interventions. Strategies to enhance earlier HBV diagnosis are required to reduce HBV burden and advance elimination efforts. Local strategies should aim to engage older migrants from West and South Asia, ensuring equity of access for women in this cohort. These findings underscore the importance of localised data and the benefits of data linkage.
