- W3039001027 abstract "Objective The aim of this study is to determine the frequency and risk factors for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus (Anti-HCV) in a preoperative screening of patients admitted at the surgical unit of Al-Tibri Medical College and Hospital and Lyari General Hospital, Karachi. Materials and methods This study was conducted at the surgical units of Al-Tibri Medical College Hospital and Lyari General Hospital, Karachi. This study was conducted for six months from 30th June 2017 to 31st December 2017. This observational study was performed using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. All patients who were undergoing elective and emergency surgical procedure were selected for the study and screened for HBsAg and anti-HCV by immunochromatographic test (ICT) method at the hospital laboratory. The risk factors identified as parenteral injections, past surgical procedure, blood transfusion, etc. along with demographic data as age, gender, and district residential status were recorded on a specially designed proforma. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Descriptive statistics were applied, and the qualitative data were expressed as the mean and standard deviation. Results Among a total of 360 patients included in the study, 63 (21.38%) were found with anti-HCV positive, and 14 (3.88%) were HBsAg positive with none of the patients found to have co-infection. The male-to-female ratio was 2.3:1. The mean age of patients was 32.34±4.3 years. The age range affected commonly in the study population was 21-30 years, 24(31%). The commonest risk factor for transmission of viral infection was parenteral injection abuser 31(40.2%), followed by surgical procedure 13(18.1%), blood transfusion 10(12.9%), and barber shave 7(9.1%). Conclusion It was predicted in our study that hepatitis C was more common in patients screened preoperatively for surgery. However, the most frequent risk factor in these patients was parenteral abuse history. The preoperative screening is an important investigative tool for the identification of silent cases in the community for preventive measures adoption and treatment for silent carriers." @default.
