Hepatitis D virus(HDV)can infect HBsAg-positive individuals,causing rapid fibrosis progression,early decompensation,increased hepatocellular carcinoma risk,and higher mortality than hepatitis B virus(HBV)mono-infection.Most countries lack high-quality HDV prevalence data,and the collection techniques employed often bias published data.In recent meta-analyses,HDV prevalence in HBsAg-positive patients reaches 5%-15%and is even significantly higher in endemic areas.Since HBV vaccination programs were implemented,HDV prevalence has decreased among younger populations.However,owing to immigrant influx,it has increased in some Western countries.The current practice of HDV screening in HBsAg-positive individuals is stepwise,based on physician’s discretion,and limited to at-risk populations and may require numerous visits.Double reflex testing,which includes anti-HDV testing in all HBsAg-positive individuals and then HDV RNA testing for anti-HDV-positive ones,is uncommon.reflex testing can identify more HDV infection cases and link identified patients to further care and follow-up.Moreover,laboratory-based double reflex screening is less biased than physician-led testing.Therefore,health-care providers should learn about reflex testing,and federal and provincial hepatitis control programs should implement laboratory-based double reflex testing to obtain reliable HDV prevalence estimates.The test’s cost-effectiveness depends on the number of HBV-positive patients screened to identify one HDV-positive patient.Such testing may be viable in areas with low HBsAg but high HDV prevalence.However,its economic impact on areas with low HDV prevalence needs further study.

Blood and urine biomarkers in prostate cancer:Are we ready for reflex testing in men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen?

Objective:There is no consensus on the role of biomarkers in determining the utility of prostate biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen(PSA).There are numerous biomarkers such as prostate health index,4Kscore,prostate cancer antigen 3,ExoDX,SelectMDx,and Mi-Prostate Score that may be useful in this decision-making process.However,it is unclear whether any of these tests are accurate and cost-effective enough to warrant being a widespread reflex test following an elevated PSA.Our goal was to report on the clinical utility of these blood and urine biomarkers in prostate cancer screening.Methods:We performed a systematic review of studies published between January 2000 and October 2020 to report the available parameters and cost-effectiveness of the aforementioned diagnostic tests.We focus on the negative predictive value,the area under the curve,and the decision curve analysis in comparing reflexive tests due to their relevance in evaluating diagnostic screening tests.Results:Overall,the biomarkers are roughly equivalent in predictive accuracy.Each test has additional clinical utility to the current diagnostic standard of care,but the added benefit is not substantial to justify using the test reflexively after an elevated PSA.Conclusions:Our findings suggest these biomarkers should not be used in binary fashion and should be understood in the context of pre-existing risk predictors,patient’s ethnicity,cost of the test,patient life-expectancy,and patient goals.There are more recent diagnostic tools such as multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging,polygenic single-nucleotide panels,IsoPSA,and miR Sentinel tests that are promising in the realm of prostate cancer screening and need to be investigated further to be considered a consensus reflexive test in the setting of prostate cancer screening.
