Background: Patients with chronic or resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have a risk of reactivation after chemotherapy. Japanese guidelines recommend that all patients on chemotherapy should be screened for HBV infection. Although Asian peoples are considered to be a high risk population of HBV infection, little is known about the screening rate in Japan. Methods: We analyzed health insurance claims data linked with hospital-based cancer registry. Patients diagnosed with cancer in 2014, 20 years and older, who received at least one dose of systemic anticancer therapy in 2014-15 entered the analyses. We assessed the HBV screening rates by HBsAg or anti-HBc test ordered around initial treatment, HBV-DNA test and entecavir prescription. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify factors related to the receipt of screening. Results: Of 177636 patients (mean [SD] age, 65.6 [12.2] years), 82.6%, 12.9%, 4.5% patients had solid tumor other than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hematologic malignancy and HCC, respectively. Among them, 88.5%, 8.8%, 2.6% patients received cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapy and anti-CD20 antibody, respectively. Overall, 70.6% of patients were screened but 34.5% were tested HBsAg only. The positive predictors of the HBV screening were hematologic malignancy (OR 2.45; 95%CI, 2.35-2.55) and negative predictors were age 85 (OR 0.75 compared to age <65, 95%CI, 0.71-0.80), age 75-84 (OR 0.77; 95%CI, 0.75-0.79), targeted therapy (OR 0.79; 95%CI, 0.76-0.82). Among the screened patients, 13.2% were tested HBV-DNA and 1.49% were prescribed prophylactic entecavir. Conclusions: This is the largest study to evaluate the HBV screening rate before systemic anticancer therapy in Japan. Although the screening rate is higher than previous reports from other countries (13-19%), half of the screened patients were tested HBsAg only. The elderly patients and patients who received targeted therapy were less screened. Legal entity responsible for the study: Takahiro Higashi. Funding: Has not received any funding.
