What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • hepatitis virusesOther

    There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of greatest concern because of the burden of illness and death they cause and the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.The aim is to investigate incidence of HBsAg, anti-HCV in serum samples and evaluation of biomarkers taken from patients who were followed the intensive care unit of Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HBsAg

    HBsAg is the serologic hallmark of HBV infection and is the first marker to appear after acute infection.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. anti-HCV

    Anti-HCV antibody tests look for antibodies to HCV in the blood, indicating an HCV infection has occurred.

    Measured: 1mounth
