Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening during pregnancy is standard of care to prevent vertical transmission to infants, yet the mothers themselves may not receive appropriate follow-up. Using a national database, we sought to determine rates of maternal peripartum follow-up with a HBV specialist and identify factors associated with a lack of follow-up. We identified women who delivered in 2000 to 2012 and were diagnosed with HBV according to International Classification of Diseases-9 codes using a national database (Optum) derived from commercial insurance claims with ∼46 million members ages 0 to 64 in all 50 states. Our primary outcome was follow-up during or after pregnancy with a HBV specialist (gastroenterology/infectious diseases). The prevalence of HBV was 0.27% (2558/959,747 pregnancies), and median follow-up was 45 months. Only 21% of women had peripartum HBV specialist follow-up. On multivariable regression, predictors of peripartum follow-up at 1-year included younger age [odds ratio (OR), 0.97/y; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.94, 0.99], Asian race/ethnicity (OR, 1.56 vs. white; 95% CI, 1.13, 2.17), and residing in the Northeast (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.09, 2.66) and Midwest (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.07, 2.81) versus West.
