0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ ...OVERVIEW
Update on Management of Hepatitis B & C is organized by UK HealthCare CECentral.
Start Date: Jun 1, 2024
End Date: Jun 1, 2027
Description:
According to the CDC 36,136 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States and dependent areas in 2021. The annual number of new diagnoses decreased 7% from 2017 to 2021. It is critical for professionals to have current knowledge to provide effective treatment and education for patients. The CDC also states that Kentucky is at high risk for an HIV outbreak if introduced into the drug using population. HIV therapy was previously limited due to lack of treatment options, but more therapy options increase choice for patient treatment and challenges for providers. Screening for drug misuse is critical to the prevention of or early intervention in addiction.
According to the CDC, in 2021, 43 states reported 107,300 new cases of chronic hepatitis C, which is 39.8 cases per 100,000 people. This number represents an 8% decrease from 2020, when there were 3.45 deaths per 100,000 people, and a 23% decrease from 2017, when there were 4.13 deaths per 100,000 people.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Discuss the importance of screening for hepatitis B and C
• Describe the work-up of patients living with hepatitis B or C
• Recognize the principles and goals of antiviral therapy for hepatitis B and C
