Fig. 3. The impact of timely HepB-BD scale-up on HBV-related deaths.

Fig. 3

a HBV-related deaths averted in each WHO region (mean and 95% credibility intervals) in the birth cohorts for years 2015 to 2050, in the scenario in which timely HepB-BD coverage is scaled up to ≥90% by 2030 in each country (the HepB-BD scale-up scenario) compared to the status quo HepB3 & HepB-BD scenario. Results are the sums within WHO regions from all modelled countries of n = 200 model outcomes resulting from 200 independent draws from the posterior distribution of each country. b Percentage of global total HBV-related deaths averted in the 2020 to 2030 birth cohorts that occurs in each country if timely HepB-BD coverage is scaled up to ≥90% by 2030 (the HepB-BD scale-up scenario) relative to the status quo HepB3 & HepB-BD scenario. The six WHO regions AFRO, EMRO, EURO, PAHO, SEARO, and WPRO are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1.
