OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This study investigates risk factors and disease burden associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a large prospective cohort study of 0.5 million adults from 10 geographically diverse areas in China, called the China Kadoorie Biobank. Chronic hepatitis B remains a pressing public health issue and is coined a ‘silent epidemic’ in China, which has the largest HBV associated disease burden in the world.
