Chronic viral hepatitis is defined as infectious liver disease caused by persistent virus infection for more than six months. Sustained viral replication and ongoing liver inflammation can eventually lead to liver fibrosis/cirrhosis or even hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic viral hepatitis infection causes at least 80% of all liver cancers.~Though chronic viral hepatitis is a major global health concern, there is still a lack of evidence in high quality about the management of chronic viral hepatitis and the long-term outcome of patients. The concept of real-world data and research has been officially introduced into China since 2010. Real-world evidence, based on real-world data, can help practitioners have better understanding of the characteristics of the patients with different treatment strategies.~This study is aimed to collect and analyze clinical data of patients with chronic viral hepatitis in the real world, to investigate the long-term outcome of these patients and to optimize treatment options based on these data.
