Key Points

The research aims to understand physicians' perspectives on hepatitis C treatment during pregnancy.
Conducted a multinational multispecialty survey of physicians
Collected data on knowledge and experience regarding hepatitis C treatment in pregnancy
Analyzed responses related to treatment willingness and guideline recommendations
Participants demonstrated relatively high levels of knowledge about hepatitis C
Few agreed to consider providing treatment during pregnancy
A need for more safety evidence and clear guidelines was highlighted to improve treatment uptake

Abstract

Despite relatively high levels of HCV knowledge, few participants have experience with HCV treatment in pregnancy or would consider such treatment. Further availability of safety evidence and the inclusion of specific recommendations in guidelines could increase uptake of DAAs for pregnant individuals.
