In order to better understand hepatitis delta virus (HDV) prevalence at the population level in 25 countries/territories, The Polaris Observatory Collaborators conducted a literature review for anti-HDV and HDV RNA-positive prevalence in HBsAg-positive individuals and held virtual meetings with experts to discuss the findings and collect unpublished data. The findings were then combined with The Polaris Observatory HBV data to estimate the anti-HDV and HDV RNA prevalence in each country/territory at the population level.
