Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of antivirals therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine therapy on hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion rate in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B. Methods The 679 HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into the antiviral western medicine group (209 patients) and the Chinese and western medicine combination group (470 patients) according to whether or not they were treated with traditional Chinese medicine. The HBeAg seroconversion rate was observed after 1 year of treatment, and stratified sampling was applied to identify the dominant population of combined therapy. Results After 1 year of the treatment, the seroconversion rate of HBeAg in the antiviral western medicine group and the combined group was 11.5% and 12.8%, respectively, with P=0.66. The patients were scored with the scoring model that our group established in the early stage. For those patients with a score of 0-1 in the antiviral western medicine group and combined therapy group,HBeAg conversion rates were 2.6% and 8.1%, respectively, with P=0.04. Conclusion On the basis of antiviral treatment, combined Chinese medicine treatment can improve the HBeAg seroconversion rate of chronic hepatitis B patients with a score of 0-1.
