Health care workers in the Royal Newcastle Hospital, in surrounding hospitals and pathology services, and in a large mental institution were surveyed to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B markers. The aim of the study was to identify the groups of workers at particular risk of contracting hepatitis B in order to determine which workers would benefit most from a programme of vaccination against hepatitis B. Although the prevalence of hepatitis B markers in the Newcastle health care workers was higher than that in the control subjects, this rate did not approach the high rates previously reported in overseas studies.
对皇家纽卡斯尔医院、周边医院及病理服务机构以及一家大型精神病院的医护人员进行了调查，以确定乙肝标志物的流行情况。该研究的目的是确定感染乙肝风险较高的工人群体，以便确定哪些工人将从乙肝疫苗接种计划中获益最大。尽管纽卡斯尔医护人员中乙肝标志物的流行率高于对照组，但这一比率并未接近此前海外研究报告的高比率。
