Routine hepatitis C virus screening in pregnancy: A cost-effectiveness analysis
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether routine hepatitis C virus screening in pregnancy is cost-effective. A decision tree with Markov analysis was developed to compare 3 approaches to asymptomatic hepatitis C virus infection in low-risk pregnant women that found that the screening of asymptomatic pregnant women for hepatitis C virus infection is not cost-effective.
