Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 2. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust

2 Declaration of interests Project funded through a Fellowship from Gilead Sciences Dan Bradshaw has received funding from Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Abbott Diagnostics

3 Background UK NICE 1 guidelines recommend routine HIV testing in the emergency department (ED) in areas of high diagnosed background prevalence Identification of hotspots of HCV may improve access to DAAs Chelsea and Westminster Hospital ED has around 22,000 adult patients attending per year 1. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence December 2016

4 Background Early data from retrospective, irreversibly-unlinked, anonymous, seroprevalence survey Samples from individuals who had tested for HIV via an ED testing program Number % Total 500 Anti-HCV IgG HBsAg 8 1.6

5 Methods Study design Seroprevalence surveillance study Opt-out Study population year olds attending the ED Standalone HIV test vs BBV test Nov 2015 to Dec 2016

6 Laboratory assays Abbott Architect HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab Combo, anti-hcv IgG, HBsAg Qualitative II Cost analysis Laboratory cost for each positive diagnosis calculated: total number of tests x cost per test / no. of positive tests

7 Patient Information Sheet

8 Results % eligible patients having a test 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2015 BBV opt-out testing in ED Common order set HIV BBV Number of weeks BBV Tests Standalone HIV Tests

9 Table of BBV test results Total no. tests No. positive tests No. 'new' reactive tests Confirmed new diagnoses % New positives Unable to confirm HIV HCV * HBV *17 HCV Ab positive of which 12 were RNA negative

10 HIV: cascade of engagement in care % New Reactive Confirmed New Diagnosis Transfer to C&W Care On Treatment Virally Suppressed

11 HCV diagnoses 80 % Non negative HCV Ab 29 Known HCV+ve (care elsewhere) 26 Known HCV+ve (C+W) 27 Ab +ve, unable to confirm 20 HCV equivocal 17 New diagnosis 12 Natural clearance 5 Confirmed New active new HCV

12 HBV diagnoses % HBsAg +ve Known HBV+ve (Care elsewhere) Known HBV+ve (C+W) HBsAg equivocal Repeat testing elswhere Unable to confirm Ongoing health advisor recall Confirmed new infection

13 Results Laboratory cost per diagnosed new infection: HIV 3350 HBV 2520 HCV 5860

14 Seroprevalence of anti-hcv IgG for attendees of urban emergency departments and for national populations in Europe and North America ED National 10 % References. 1. Houston et al Vermehren et al Bert et al O Connell et al Russmann et al Orkin et al Galbraith et al Hall et al Patel et al Lyons et al Allison et al White et al 2016 *current study

15 Discussion BBV testing was incentivised through: Electronic patient record BBV prompt and common order set Involvement of ED staff including a testing champion Weekly prize for the clinician requesting most tests Weekly performance reports

16 Limitations: Unclear why 73% of eligible patients were not tested Clinical and demographic data were not presented For anti-hcv IgG positive cases, 23% could not be confirmed

17 Conclusions Of eligible ED patients, 27% received a BBV test Proportion of positive tests higher than UK seroprevalence Barriers to upscaling of testing need to be identified Further work on cost effectiveness of BBV testing is required
