Epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women in multi-ethnic areas
Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection among pregnant women in multi-ethnic areas.Methods Data were collected from 2 138 pregnant women who delivered in the hospital over a six-month period.The information gathered included prenatal check-up records,hospitalization data,and questionnaire survey responses.An analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of HBV infection among pregnant women and the related influencing factors were analyzed.Results Of the 2 138 hospitalized pregnant women,192 tested positive for HBV.The positive rates for HBsAg,anti-HBs,HBeAg,anti-HBe and anti-HBc were 8.98％,57.62％,2.25％,20.16％and 38.17％,respectively,with five main combinations of these five HBV serologic markers identified.Age,number of pregnancies,number of childbirths,hepatitis B vaccination status,rural household registration and educational background were found to be significant factors influencing HBV infection among pregnant women(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preg-nant women with HBV infection in multi-ethnic areas tend to have characteristics such as low educational at-tainment,rural household registration,multiple pregnancies,multiple childbirths,and advanced maternal age.Targeted measures should be taken to protect the reproductive health of women of childbearing age in these re-gions.
