After various changes in targets and methods, the national hepatitis B surveillance system now exclusively monitors acute cases. We aimed to assess the alignment of this system with its intended purpose and to recommend improvements supporting the national strategic plan for viral hepatitis management.Methods: This study assessed acute hepatitis B cases reported to the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency\u2019s mandatory surveillance system over a 10-year period (2013\u20132022). It evaluated 5 factors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s Updated Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems: simplicity, positive predictive value, data quality, timeliness, and usefulness.Results: The nonspecific nature of acute hepatitis B symptoms, along with the complexity of diagnostic criteria, indicated a high potential for misreporting. The surveillance system demonstrated a high positive predictive value (94.4%), with data quality and timeliness also rated high. However, data following the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic indicate the need for improvement. Moreover, given the relative importance of specific characteristics of chronic infectious diseases, only limited interventions are implementable through the current surveillance system.Conclusion: The evaluation of the Republic of Korea\u2019s acute hepatitis B surveillance system revealed high positive predictive value, data quality, and timeliness. However, improvements can be made in the misreporting of chronic cases and the system\u2019s usefulness. More accurate reflection of the characteristics of acute hepatitis B cases is essential for better management of viral hepatitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.24171\/j.phrp.2024.0083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,1]],"date-time":"2024-08-01T04:50:00Z","timestamp":1722487800000},"page":"353-363","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24171\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Evaluation
