However, an increasing trend has been reported recently.Patients and methods We carried out a case-control study to analyze changes in its prevalence in 1215 chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients, diagnosed consecutively in a tertiary center, between 1983 and 2012. According to the year of diagnosis, patients were distributed into two groups: A [1983-1997 (n=786)] and B [1998-2012 (n = 429)].Results The prevalence of anti-HDV was 8.2% (9.4% in group A and 6.1% in group B) (P=0.04). Multivariate regression revealed that intravenous drug use [odds ratio (OR) 261.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 28.7-2368.5; P
