Meta‐Analysis: High anti‐HBs Titers are Associated with Significantly Reduced Risk of Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation During Rituximab Treatment

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis demonstrates a significantly lower risk for HBV reactivation on rituximab if anti‐HBs is > 100 iU/L (3.5%, CI: 1.8%–6.9%) vs. anti‐HBs between 10 and 100 iU/L (13.8%, CI: 8.8%–20.8%) and anti‐HBs negative (27.3%, CI: 20.0%–36.0%). Thus, if anti‐HBs titer is > 10 iU/L, monitoring could be considered.
