HBV Prevalence in Correctional Facilities

The work group used an existing literature search of articles on HBV and HCV infections in correctional and detention facilities. The search period was January 1, 2000 through March 3, 2021 (Supplementary Table 8, https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/124432). Abstracts were reviewed by two reviewers (AH, LH, JB, OR, or EC) for relevance, and discrepancies in inclusion were resolved by the first author (EC) or by consensus discussion. Only articles containing incidence or prevalence of HBV infection among persons with a history of incarceration or incarceration as a risk factor for HBV infection were included in this review (Supplementary Table 9, https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/124432). Data from the included full text articles or abstracts were independently abstracted by two reviewers (LP and EC) and differences were resolved by consensus discussion. Because of the limited amount of literature available about HBV infection in correctional settings, the work group included conference abstracts, which are labeled as such because of their presumed lower quality. The quality of the articles was assessed using MMAT. The population was considered at “increased risk” if the prevalence of HBV infection was ≥1%.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
