Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Low-level viremia (LLV), a special case of poor response to antiviral therapy, has become a focus of liver disease research; however, most studies have focused on poor response to antiviral therapy, and little attention has been paid to LLV. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the factors influencing LLV in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) receiving entecavir (ETV) monotherapy. METHODS Clinical data of CHB patients receiving ETV treatment for at least 1 year at the outpatient department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from November 2018 to June 2020 were collected. Patients were divided into LLV (180 cases) and sustained virological response (SVR) groups (337 cases) according to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load at the end of the observation period. Demographic features and laboratory markers were also examined. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine factors influencing LLV in patients receiving long-term ETV monotherapy. RESULTS Significant differences were noted between the LLV and SVR groups in terms of age, sex, presence or absence of cirrhosis, HBeAg positivity rate, baseline HBV DNA load, and baseline HBsAg level before treatment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline HBeAg status, HBV DNA load, and HBsAg quantification were pretreatment risk factors for LLV in long-term ETV antiviral therapy. CONCLUSIONS CHB patients with a high HBV DNA load, high HBsAg quantification, and positive HBeAg results tend to have a high risk of LLV despite long-term ETV antiviral treatment and should be dynamically monitored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The therapeutic effect of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV) on chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients remains inconsistent. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in virological responses to TAF, TDF and ETV in patients with CHB. METHODS Literature searches were conducted of the PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases to identify randomized controlled trials and observational studies published up to July 21, 2020. Statistical comparisons of virological response between TDF, ETV, and TAF were carried out with pooled odds ratio (OR) values. RESULTS The virological response in TDF-treated CHB patients was notably superior to that of the ETV-treated CHB patients after 12-weeks [OR=1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89-1.41], 24-weeks (OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.11-1.61), 48-weeks (OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.16-2.25), 72-weeks (OR=1.43, 95% CI: 0.78-2.62), and 96-weeks (OR=1.56, 95% CI: 0.87-2.81) treatment. No significant difference was observed for the virological responses in CHB patients after 48-weeks treatment with TAF or TDF. The virological response in TDF+ETV-treated CHB patients was superior to that of TDF-treated CHB patients after 24-weeks, 48-weeks (OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.17-2.02), 96-weeks, and 144-weeks. CONCLUSIONS The virological response in TDF-treated CHB patients was superior to that in ETV-treated CHB patients, but there was no significant difference between TAF and TDF. In addition, the therapeutic effect of TDF+ETV was superior to TDF alone.
