This study was conducted in 2021, wherein we investigated in-hospital measures for patients positive for hepatitis virus in 288 hospitals specializing in liver diseases in 13 Japanese prefectures. Our results showed that even at specialty hospitals, the overall countermeasure implementation rate was low (56%). The rate was higher in hospitals that had a higher bed capacity (>400), more full-time hepatologists, and more hepatitis medical care coordinators. Of these three factors, implementation rate was most influenced by coordinator enrollment, with highest involvement by clinical laboratory technologists. Therefore, clinical laboratory technologists should be trained to improve countermeasure rates for both treatment of liver disease and safety management in hospitals. Furthermore, the improvement in the implementation rate of measures for patients positive for hepatitis virus will help in providing better treatment.

In eight regional core centers for liver disease management, we evaluated the status of HBs antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV) testing from 2016 to 2020. Among nonhepatology departments, ophthalmology had the highest number of HBsAg and anti-HCV tests, followed by obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedics. The highest positive rates of HBsAg were in orthopedics (1.27%), gastroenterological surgery (1.23%), and ophthalmology (1.04%), and those of anti-HCV were in gastroenterological surgery (2.71%), orthopedics (2.57%), and ophthalmology (2.51%). Thus, ophthalmology and orthopedics obtained the highest number of tests and positive rates, with no rate decrease over time. While the Japan Ophthalmologists Association has already commercialized measures against hepatitis, similar measures are needed urgently in orthopedics.

Hepatitis medical care coordinators (HMCCs) in Japan are trained by local governments and regional core centers, and are expected to play an active role in various aspects of hepatitis countermeasures. A 2019 survey revealed varied activity statuses of HMCCs among facilities. This study surveyed the present status of HMCCs in 21 of the 72 regional core centers in the fiscal year 2021.A total of 951 HMCCs were trained at these 21 facilities. The 17 participating centers of the 2019 survey indicated a slight increase in the proportion of HMCCs who actively contributed to hepatitis patient care, from 84.2% to 85.8%.Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, HMCCs remained active in many facilities.
