Hepatitis C Infections During Pregnancy Increased 20% From 2016 To 2020, According To A New CDC Report

However, among mothers who were younger than 25-years-old, there was actually a drastic decrease in infection rates between 2016 and 2020.

But, from 2020 through 2021, the rates either decreased or remained unchanged for all of the categories.

The team believes that one major advantage of this study was the use of birth certificate data for surveillance since this information is collected on all women going birth throughout the U.S. This allows for the analysis and comparison of national trends and differences among smaller population groups.

“Despite concerns with potential reporting issues, trends and patterns in the rate of HCV infection shown in this report are generally consistent with those of other studies,” the authors added.

“And these data provide opportunities to examine HCV infection rates among all women giving birth in the United States.”
