Worldwide burden of HBV
• >350 million are chronic HBV carriers
• In the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, HBV infection was the 10th leading cause of death (786 000 deaths per year).
• About half the total liver cancer mortality in 2010 was attributed to HBV infection
• From 1990 to 2010, the worldwide mortality associated with liver cancer increased by 62%, and that associated with cirrhosis increased by 29%.

HBV infection in Asia
• 74% of HBV carriers are in Asia Pacific countries
• Among 260 million HBV infected people in Asia, 160 million resides in Western Pacific region
• In Western Pacific region– 50% of all HBV patients in the world– 60% of HCC in the world– 360,000 people died of HBV-related liver disease annually

Universal vaccination to newborn
• First launched 1984 in Taiwan• Now 180 (3%) countries in the world has this program
• Prevalence of HBsAg positivity in Taiwan 2009 after 25 years of vaccination program = 0.9%

HBV vaccination programmelaunched in 1984
By end of 2011, 180 countries has universal vaccination programme47 European countries have universal vaccination; 6 (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and UK) have targeted vaccination

Reimbursement policies differ across Asia-Pacific countries
Low reimbursement Partial reimbursement High reimbursement
Lamivudine is most commonly used
Entecavir & Tenofovirare most
commonly used
Drug use according to reimbursement policy
Drug resistance High cost
Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China
The increasing problem of HBV drug resistance in Asia
794 patients receiving sequential/combination NUCs• Diverse drug mutations found in 306 (38.5%)• ETV-R ±LAM-R ±ADV-R in 45 (5.7%)

Summary
Large global burden of HBV and HCV infection in the world.
Key cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality
HCV• Great advances in antiviral therapy• Challenges in accessibility and affordability of medicine
HBV• Vaccination has significantly reduced burden in the younger
generation• Challenges in accessibility of vaccine and antiviral therapy for
