Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance is regarded as the ideal endpoint for antiviral treatment. However, reports on the durability of and outcomes after HBsAg seroclearance are few, which has become a focus in clinical practice. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the durability and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence after HBsAg seroclearance after treatment cessation. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Medline and Web of Science for studies that reported the durability and HCC incidence after HBsAg seroclearance published between 1 January 2000 and 31 January 2020. Data were analyzed by a random-effects model. Thirty-eight studies and 43924 patients were finally included. The results showed that HBsAg seroclearance was durable, with a pooled recurrence rate of 6.19% (95% CI: 4.10-8.68%). There was no significant difference in recurrence rates after different seroclearance methods or among recurrence types and different regions. Anti-HBs seroconversion resulted in a significantly reduced recurrence rate (RR=0.25, P <0.001). Patients who experienced HBsAg seroclearance had significantly lower HCC incidence than HBsAg-positive (RR=0.41, P <0.001). The pooled HCC incidence after HBsAg seroclearance was 1.88%, this rate was reduced to 0.76% among patients without baseline cirrhosis. In conclusion, the analysis during an average follow-up of 4.74 years suggested that in patients who experienced sustained HBsAg seroclearance and anti-HBs seroconversion, this was associated with low HCC incidence. Patients without baseline cirrhosis benefited even more. We emphasize the importance of gaining HBsAg seroclearance while highlighting the benefits of achieving this as early as possible.
