Overview

Longitudinal study reveals low prevalence of hepatitis B and C in pregnant women, suggesting migration influences health trends.

Key Points

  • Data from 33,862 women reveal higher prevalence rates of hepatitis B and C among non-Italian subjects.
  • Retrospective analysis of maternal hepatitis markers illustrates changes influenced by migration patterns.
  • The findings demonstrate the need for cost-effective screening for hepatitis B and C in reproductive-age women.
