Project Summary Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the world's leading cause of cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver-related mortality. Its burden is increasing around the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Even though millions of people across sub-Saharan Africa are known to have chronic hepatitis B infection, very few eligible patients are started on treatment. The complexity and cost of laboratory monitoring, liver fibrosis assessments, and antiviral treatment are some of the major challenges preventing scale-up of treatment. My goal is to determine whether hepatitis B management guidelines can be simplified so that limited healthcare resources are focused on expanding hepatitis B treatment in resource-limited settings. Simulation models are evidence-based tools that are increasingly being used by investigators to address complex questions such as this, by assessing the long-term clinical impact of existing as well as novel hepatitis B treatment initiation strategies. I am an Infectious Diseases physician with a research background in clinical epidemiology, simulation modeling, and cost-effectiveness analysis. I am motivated to expand on my current skillset and gain training to apply these methodologies to investigate HBV treatment strategies in sub-Saharan Africa. The Mentored Research Scientist Development Award will afford me the opportunity to gain the necessary skills to become an independent clinical investigator. I require specific training in (1) model design and validation; (2) derivation of clinical and economic outcome data; and (3) designing and executing cost-effectiveness analyses. I have designed a didactic curriculum to address each of these training aims. I have also assembled a multi-disciplinary team of mentors and collaborators with methodological and/ or content expertise who are devoted to my success in achieving the aims of this proposal. By the end of the award period, I will have designed and validated a novel HBV simulation model, populated the model with clinical and economic data from sub-Saharan Africa, and used the model conduct a high impact cost-effectiveness analysis that has the potential to guide HBV management across the continent.

项目概要 乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 是世界上导致肝硬化、肝癌和肝相关疾病的主要原因 死亡。它的负担在世界各地都在增加，特别是在撒哈拉以南非洲地区。虽然 撒哈拉以南非洲地区有数百万人患有慢性乙型肝炎感染，但很少有人感染 符合条件的患者开始接受治疗。实验室监测、肝脏的复杂性和成本 纤维化评估和抗病毒治疗是阻碍扩大规模的一些主要挑战 治疗。 我的目标是确定乙型肝炎管理指南是否可以简化，以便有限的 医疗保健资源的重点是在资源有限的环境中扩大乙型肝炎治疗。 模拟模型是基于证据的工具，调查人员越来越多地使用它们来 通过评估现有的长期临床影响来解决诸如此类的复杂问题 作为新型乙型肝炎治疗启动策略。我是一名传染病医生 临床流行病学、模拟建模和成本效益分析的研究背景。我 我有动力扩展我当前的技能并接受培训以将这些方法应用于 调查撒哈拉以南非洲地区的乙型肝炎治疗策略。 指导研究科学家发展奖将使我有机会获得 成为独立临床研究者的必要技能。我需要 (1) 模型的特定培训 设计和验证； (2) 临床和经济结果数据的推导； (3) 设计和 执行成本效益分析。我设计了一个教学课程来解决每个问题 这些培训目标。我还组建了一个由导师和合作者组成的多学科团队 致力于帮助我成功实现这一目标的方法论和/或内容专业知识 提议。到奖励期结束时，我将设计并验证一种新型 HBV 模拟 模型，用来自撒哈拉以南非洲的临床和经济数据填充模型，并使用 模型进行具有高影响力的成本效益分析，有可能指导乙肝病毒 整个大陆的管理。
