- W4385316811 abstract "Background and Aim: Healthy blood donors who are asymptomatic carriers of HBV and HCV remain as a source for transmission of disease. Linkage to care is the bridge between diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis. Yet poor linkage is the barrier to hepatitis care. This study was aimed to identify the rate of HBV and HCV seropositivity among blood donors and their linkage to hepatitis care. Methods: In this observational study 116569 voluntary blood donors were screened at two blood banks for transfusion associate infection including HBV and HCV from April 2021 to September 2023. Those found positive for HBV and HCV were contacted for linkage to care. After linkage they were evaluated for disease state and treatment eligibility. Results: The rate of HBsAg, Anti HCV antibody seropositivity among the blood donors was 653(0.56%) and 313(0.26%) respectively. A linkage rate of 27.7% and 23.8% was seen for HBV and HCV. Retained in linkage was seen in 87.3% and 100% of patients with HBV and HCV respectively. Conclusion: A low rate of linkage to care among patients was found. Lack of awareness about the disease, asymptomatic disease state and lack of easy physical access were main barrier. Strategies connecting clinical care with community outreach services are key for improving patient linkage to care." @default.
