1 The Americn Assocition for the Study of Liver Diseses () nd the Europen Assocition for the Study of Liver Disese () provide clinicl prctice guidelines for the mngement nd tretment of chronic heptitis B (CHB). This summry sheet provides quick reference for key recommendtions from both guidelines nd ccompnies the full online progrm, the CHB Tretment Guideline Nvigtor Online Interctive Review. The CHB Tretment Guideline Nvigtor Review discusses the recommendtions provided by the nd guidelines in more detil nd includes expert udio commentry on the prcticl clinicl implictions of the specific recommendtions.
