In this relatively large cohort of allogeneic HCT recipients at risk for HBV reactivation, authors demonstrated that HBV vaccination with at least 2 doses of recombinant vaccine starting 1 year after transplantation is independently associated with a reduced risk for HBV reactivation and appears to be durable for years. Furthermore, authors confirmed that that HBV reactivation is a late complication of HCT, occurring at a median of 21 months after transplantation. Finally, authors confirmed that recipient HBsAb concentration above the threshold of protection (10 IU/L) before transplantation is independently associated with a reduced risk of reactivation after transplantation.
This Article supports SDG 3 by describing the association between low economic status and increased prevalence of hepatis B in China and calls for targeted interventions that could reduce this prevalence among poorer populations.
