Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is associated with fast progression to liver cirrhosis and liver complications. Previous studies have, however, been mainly from tertiary care centers, with risk for referral bias toward patients with worse outcomes. Furthermore, the impact of HDV viremia per se on liver‐related outcomes is not really known outside the human immunodeficiency virus co‐infection setting. We have therefore evaluated the long‐term impact of HDV viremia on liver‐related outcomes in a nationwide cohort of patients with hepatitis B and D co‐infection, cared for at secondary care centers in Sweden.
