    Management of chronic hepatitis d virus infection: A consensus report of the study group for viral hepatitis of the turkish society of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases; [Kronik Hepatit D Virusu İnfeksiyonunun Yönetimi: Türk Klinik Mikrobiyoloji ve İnfeksiyon Hastalıkları Derneği Viral Hepatit Çalışma Grubu Uzlaşı Raporu]
    (AVES Ibrahim Kara, 2014) Ayaz C.; Yardımcı C.; Çandır N.; Ersöz G.; Şanlıdağ T.; Tığlı A.; Türken M.
    Study Group for Viral Hepatitis of the Turkish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases convened a meeting to develop a consensus report on management of chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection, affecting nearly 5% of people infected with hepatitis B virus worldwide. Relevant literature and international guidelines were reviewed, and recommendations agreed are presented at the end of each section such as epidemiology, natural history and diagnosis of HDV infection, indications for treatment, treatment and follow-up, evaluation of response to treatment and long-term outcomes in HDV infection. Examples of some selected recommendations are as follows: [1] Patients with compensated liver disease, documented HDV viremia and elevated transaminase levels should be treated regardless of their liver histology. [2] Peg-IFN should be used for treatment of HDV infection. [3] Duration of therapy should be at least one year. [4] Treatment prolongation, provided that it can be tolerated, should be considered because of its potential benefit on virological response. [5] Although oral antivirals do not impact HDV replication, if they are needed to be used for HBV infection, a nucleotide analogue should be preferred to achieve a decline in HBsAg levels.

    Examination of the psychometric properties of the sport interest inventory in a sample of Turkish football spectators
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Yenilmez M.İ.; Ersöz G.; Çınarlı S.; Sarı İ.
    Purpose/Rationle: It is important for sport marketers and academicians to understand spectators' motivation for attending football games. Although football is the most popular sport in Turkey, there is not enough study for understanding their behavior. The aim of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Sport Interest Inventory (SII) in a group of Turkish football spectators. Methodology: This research comprises two separate studies, where 259 football spectators participated in the first study, to whose data Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) was applied, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied to the data of 280 football spectators in the second study. Content validity was tested with EFA and CFA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients among the variables were used to indicate convergent and predictive validities, while reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha internal consistency and composite reliability coefficients. Findings: The results support the appropriateness of the proposed 11-factor model for Turkish football spectators, indicating that the Turkish version of the SII can be used to measure the motivational orientations of Turkish sports fans toward participating in sports competitions. Research contribution: The research contributes to our knowledge in the area of sports marketing research by developing the measurement tool for determining football spectators' preference. Practical implications: Practitioners in sports marketing will be able to collect data through this measurement tool to examine football spectators' behaviors. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
