Annual Evidence Update on Hepatitis B/C: 7-11 September 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence - gastroenterology and liver diseases.

The Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Specialist Collection is launching its third Annual Evidence Update on Hepatitis B and C on Monday 7 September to coincide with the British Association for the Study of the Liver Annual Meeting.

The Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Project Team has carried out a systematic literature search on Hepatitis B and C to identify all high level evidence published since the date of the last AEU in 2008, including guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessments and economic evaluations. Leading experts from around the UK have read and appraised these for their validity and relevance to the busy clinician. A list of the papers deemed worthy of inclusion, along with expert commentaries by our reviewers, will be freely available on the site at www.library.nhs.uk/gastroliver. This year we have also begun to identify uncertainties in research to contribute to the DUETs project (see www.library.nhs.uk/duets for more details).
We welcome feedback about the Update - please contact us with any comments on gastroliver@medsch.ucl.ac.uk.
