Publishing their findings in the Journal of Viral Hepatology, researchers conducted a systematic review of 28 studies that included more than 105,411 people with chronic HBV. A total of 7,656 of them spontaneously cleared the virus while another 1,248 achieved viral clearance after treatment with interferon or a nucleoside/nucleotide analogue medication. Overall, 6.77 percent of the cohort achieved HBsAg clearance.
