Hepatitis B and C among healthcare workers and patient groups at increased risk of iatrogenic transmission in the EU/EEA: a systematic review

ConclusionsDespite the limited number of studies retrieved, mostly old and focussed on populations with multiple risk factors, our findings highlight the importance of considering population groups at higher risk for HBV/HCV iatrogenic transmission as target groups for active case finding in the EU/EEA. Test offer should be guided by individual risk assessment alongside local epidemiological data and local context.
