Baseline age and gender distribution were similar across countries for patients who were treated ( n=567) and untreated ( n=700) at baseline. Most treated patients were receiving monotherapy at baseline, most frequently with entecavir or tenofovir in Germany, France and Turkey, and with lamivudine in Poland and Romania. Use of pegylated interferon was more frequent in Poland and Romania than in other countries. In Romania monotherapy with entecavir increased after it became reimbursed in 2008. Hospitalizations during follow-up were more frequent in Romania (1.45 hospital days\/patient-year) and Poland (1.81 days\/patient-year) than in Turkey, France and Germany (0.00, 0.05 and 0.10 days\/patient-year, respectively); clinic visits were more frequent in Poland (3.20 versus 0.30\u20131.78 visits\/patient-year across other countries).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results illustrate country-specific patterns in the management of CHB patients across Europe.
