Abstract 4852
Background
Guidelines diverge about the need for systematic HBV screening for all patients starting chemotherapy. At the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), systematic HBV screening is requested on pre-printed chemotherapy order (PPCO) at high risk of HBVr with follow-up by a pharmacist. For all other PPCO, doctors can request HBV screening and follow-up. A decision algorithm is available for all clinicians. The aim of this study is to assess whether patients undergoing routine HBV screening could reduce the incidence of HBVr.
Methods
This is a retrospective observational study including patients who received an IV chemotherapy for cancer between July 2017 and June 2018 at the CHUM. We compared the incidence and complications of HBVr in patients with HBV screening as requested on PPCO (group 1) or on demand from the medical team (group 2) to patients who were not screened (group 3).
Results
On a total of 1374 patients, 179 of 206 (13%) patients were screened as requested on PPCO (group 1) and 421 (30%) by the medical team (group 2). Patient characteristics, duration of treatment and follow-up for all groups are listed in the table. No difference was seen on the incidence of HBVr between screened and unscreened patients (0% vs 0.1%; p = 0.36) probably because of a lack of follow-up after chemotherapy. Optimal follow-up for HBVr based on the decisional algorithm appears to be better in group 1 than group 2 (50% vs 25%; p = 0.13). For patients on anti-CD20 therapy in group 1, HBV screening was done for 92% of patients which is a higher rate compare to previously reported data. In group 3, 89 patients had ALT elevation (>100U/L and x3 baseline value) during chemotherapy but only 17 patients (19%) were tested for the possibility of HBVr.Table:

Conclusions
Systematic HBV detection requested on PPCO is an effective way to increase HBV screening and prevent HBVr in patients receiving chemotherapy. However, this method does not guarantee optimal follow-up and requires improvements.
