1191: Maternal and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women with Hepatitis C in Utah, 2009-2017
The United States is in the midst of perinatal hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) and substance use syndemic, defined as two or more concurrent epidemics clustered in a population with biological interactions. Both perinatal substance use and HCV are associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, whether HCV is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes remains unknown. Our objective was to assess the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes attributable to HCV.
