HBsAg seroclearance or seroconversion induced by peg-interferon alpha and lamivudine or adefovir combination therapy in chronic hepatitis B treatment: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Seroclearance or seroconversion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is generally considered as the clinical endpoint. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNα) with or without lamivudine (LAM) or adefovir (ADV) combination treatment in HBsAg seroclearance or seroconversion with CHB.
