Abstract

Vaccination against Hepatitis-B virus (HBV) and its infection in Nigeria, is lower than many other sub-Saharan African countries. HBV currently in Nigeria, is reported to be the most common cause of many chronic liver disease. Many studies have ensued to ascertain the extent of HBV exposure amongst Nigerians, owing to facts that its average risk is unknown. In this study, we seek to predict estimated HBV prevalence rate in Niger Delta, and within the sub-groups. We use 30,000 HBV-registered cases as predicted using supervised models below. Result shows a hyper-endemic HBV prevalence rate of infection in the Niger Delta region as trend for the highest chronic liver disease in Sub‑Sahara Africa. Study suggests that large numbers of pregnant women and children were exposed to HBV; And increased efforts should be geared towards preventing new HBV infections are urgently needed in Nigeria.
