Association between hepatitis C infection during pregnancy with maternal and neonatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Mothers with HCV infection had a markedly increased probability of PTB and/or IUGR and/or LBW. In clinical practice, standard care of treatment and proper monitoring are needed for the pregnant population with HCV infection. Our findings may provide useful information for selecting appropriate therapy methods for HCV-positive pregnant women.PMID:37140297 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202304_32120
