Overall Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus, Transmission Net of Clearance, and Timing of Transmission

Anthony E. Ades et al.

Summary: This study provides new estimates of the risk of vertical transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV). The overall vertical transmission rates are higher than previously assumed, but the risk of infection persisting beyond age 5 years is lower.

Spontaneous Clearance of Vertically Acquired Hepatitis C Infection: Implications for Testing and Treatment

A. E. Ades et al.

Summary: Based on the largest purely prospective dataset assembled to date, this study found that 66% of confirmed vertically acquired hepatitis C virus infections clear spontaneously by age 5 years, rather than the 25%-40% assumed in current guidelines. Treatment before age 3 would avoid loss to follow-up but result in substantial overtreatment.

Hepatitis C Virus Testing During Pregnancy After Universal Screening Recommendations Comment

Harvey W. Kaufman et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of the 2020 CDC and USPSTF recommendations on HCV screening among pregnant individuals in the US. The findings showed an increase in HCV antibody screening, but disparities in testing rates based on health insurance status remained significant. Although progress has been made, current testing rates fall short of universal recommendations.

Nucleic Acid Testing for Diagnosis of Perinatally Acquired Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Early Infancy

Charitha Gowda et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sensitivity of modern HCV-RNA RT-PCR platforms for early diagnosis of perinatally acquired infection. The results showed that early HCV-RNA screening demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in detecting infected infants, highlighting its potential for aiding HCV surveillance and diagnosis in this population.

Infectious disease screening in a dedicated primary care clinic for children in foster care

Sarah Lairmore et al.

Summary: The study found that a small percentage of children evaluated in a primary care clinic dedicated to caring for children in foster care had positive infectious disease screenings, with age and number of visits possibly increasing the likelihood of completing screenings. Targeted infectious disease screening based on age and local epidemiology may be less traumatizing but still clinically appropriate.

Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C in Young Children Reduces Adverse Outcomes and Is Cost-Effective Compared with Deferring Treatment to Adulthood

Emma Greenaway et al.

Summary: Treating young children with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) early is cost-effective, as it can prevent cases of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver-related deaths. The study developed a state-transition model and conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing treatment at age 6 years vs delaying treatment until age 18 years. Delaying treatment results in an increased lifetime risk of late-stage liver complications, supporting policies that broaden HCV treatment access to young children.

Association of Individual and Community Factors With Hepatitis C Infections Among Pregnant People and Newborns

Stephen W. Patrick et al.

Summary: The opioid crisis has significantly impacted pregnant individuals and newborns, with a rise in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. This study found that White and American Indian/Alaska Native individuals without a 4-year college degree had the highest risk of HCV infection, and higher levels of county employment helped mitigate the increase in HCV infections among high-risk individuals.
