Chronic hepatitis B - a clinical audit of GP management Dev A; Nguyen JH; Munafo L; Hardie E; Iacono LAust Fam Physician 2011[Jul]; 40 (7): 533-8BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection represents a growing health burden in Australia. This clinical audit aimed to enhance general practitioner awareness of the recommended management for patients with chronic hepatitis B. OBJECTIVE: This article describes a clinical two-phase audit of 119 Australian GPs who contributed records retrospectively of patients with chronic hepatitis B. DISCUSSION: Patient records were examined for compliance with prevailing guidelines and GPs received education on guidelines. At completion of the audit 29% of patients were monitored at recommended intervals and 47% were managed according to the current guidelines. Recording of hepatitis B virus DNA results increased from 24% in phase 1 to 63% in phase 2. General practitioners reported increased knowledge of appropriate management and referral. Twenty-five percent of patients audited in both phases had been referred to a specialist. Participating GPs improved their management of patients with chronic hepatitis B. However, there remains considerable scope for enhancing GP understanding of hepatitis B virus and applying current guidelines to clinical practice.|*Medical Audit[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Australia[MESH]|Directive Counseling[MESH]|Female[MESH]|General Practice/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Guideline Adherence[MESH]|Hepatitis B, Chronic/diagnosis/*therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Practice Patterns, Physicians'/*statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Young Adult[MESH] |
