V ČR je odhadováno celkem 47 800 problémových uživatelů drog, tj. dlouhodobých nebo pravidelných nebo injekčních uživatelů opiátů nebo pervitinu. Je odhadováno celkem 35 tis. uživatelů pervitinu a 13 tis. uživatelů opioidů. V posledních letech zaznamenáváme nárůst počtu problémových uživatelů opioidů – zejména se jedná o nárůst užívání opioidních analgetik. Příkladem je zneužívání fentanylu nebo užívání léků na bázi morfinu, hydromorfonu a oxykodonu, které mohou lokálně představovat nejrozšířenější opioid mezi problémovými uživateli drog. Současně dlouhodobě sledujeme pokles odhadovaného počtu uživatelů pervitinu. Odhadovaný celkový počet problémových uživatelů drog je dlouhodobě stabilní.

Main Messages: •Despite being the most severe form of viral hepatitis, resulting in rapid progression to cirrhosis and HCC, until recently there have been no approved therapeutic options for HDV. •It has been estimated that up to 60 million people globally are infected with HDV. •Progression to cirrhosis is anticipated within 5 years of infection and progression to hepatocellular carcinoma occurs approximately 10 years after infection.

Main Messages: •The number of individuals infected with HDV varies substantially between countries (note: numbers shown on figure have not been validated locally). •The prevalence of HDV is unknown in many areas of the world. Background: A total of 332,155 individuals from general populations of 48 countries and regions and 271,629 HBsAg-positive carriers from 83 countries were included in this analysis of HDV prevalence (Miao et al. 2020). China, India and Nigeria are the countries most affected by HDV but HDV is also highly prevalent in certain regions including central Asia, eastern Europe, tropical and central Latin America, and central and west sub-Saharan Africa. The burden was estimated to be greatest in Asia (44.41-56.55%) followed by Africa (22.30-38.37%). HDV is especially prevalent in low-income and lower middle-income countries, but it is important to note that data are relatively limited from these countries. Reference: Miao Z, et al.

A picture containing diagram Description automatically generated Clinical course of HBV/HDV infection depends on timing of HDV infection Transition: This slide highlights that the clinical course of HBV/HDV infection is dependent on the timing of infection. Main Messages: •Patients simultaneously infected with HBV and HDV - HBV/HDV co-infection - have a lower chance of progressing to severe liver disease than those infected initially with HBV and subsequently being infected with HDV - HBV/HDV superinfection. Background Data presented are based on estimates of HDV prevalence and disease progression rates determined in a large global epidemiology analysis. The majority (81%) of HBV/HDV co-infected patients have a short-lived (acute) infection and spontaneously recover. Where co-infected patients develop chronic HDV infection, progression to severe liver disease, including cirrhosis and HCC, occurs infrequently. In contrast, the vast majority (70%) of patients with HBV/HDV superinfection will develop chronic infection. For these patients, a high proportion will go on to develop the long-term sequelae of liver disease including cirrhosis and HCC. Reference: Miao Z, et al. J Infect Dis 2020;221:1677-87.

Main Messages: •HBV/HDV infection can be either a short-lived (acute) infection or a persistent (chronic) infection. •Patients spontaneously recover from acute infection. •Patients with chronic HDV infection are at risk of rapid disease progression resulting in cirrhosis, HCC and death. Background: Following HDV exposure, infection can resolve spontaneously within 6 months. However, if the virus persists for more than 6 months, chronic infection has been established. The impact of persistent infection is that patients progress to liver disease which can ultimately lead to fibrosis (scarring of the liver), cirrhosis (severe scarring), hepatocellular carcinoma and death. The disease pathway is not necessarily linear in HDV and patients without fibrosis or cirrhosis can still present with hepatocellular carcinoma. In a large global epidemiology analysis, Miao et al. determined the rate of disease progression in patients with HBV/HDV. They demonstrated that 76.5% of individuals with chronic HDV infection were likely to progress to chronic hepatitis/disease within 3 years of infection. This group were then at high risk of rapid progression to cirrhosis, as 29.7% of individuals had cirrhosis within 3.1 years. Finally, 5.6% of individuals with chronic HDV were shown to have HCC within 5.4 years. References: 1.Miao Z, et al. J Infect Dis 2020;221:1677-87; 2.World Health Organization.

Main Messages: •HBV/HDV is more severe than HBV. Background: In a recent review, Da and colleagues summarised the relative risk of liver disease sequelae in patients with HBV/HDV co-infection versus HBV monoinfection. HBV/HDV infection is associated an increased risk of poor long-term outcomes (cirrhosis, HCC and death) than HBV monoinfection. Compared with HBV monoinfection, the risk of progression to most phases of severe disease are at least doubled, with the risk of cirrhosis and HCC being substantially higher than for HBV.
