Abstract | Background: At the 74th World Health Assembly, the WHO issued a strategy for the prevention and control of several major infectious diseases. To achieve the WHO-initiated targets for these infectious diseases, the elimination of mother-to-child transmission is essential. To date, a systematic review of the global and regional prevalence of infections with relevant mother-to-child transmission and outside the spectrum of congenital infections is lacking. Objectives: We aimed to systematically review the prevalence of HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and syphilis in pregnant women. Data sources: MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang database and China Biology Medicine disc database, and five WHO Regional Index Medicus databases. Study eligibility criteria: Original studies reporting the prevalence of infection or coinfection of HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis in pregnant women. Methods: This systematic review followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses 2020 checklist. We used random-effects models to generate pooled prevalence estimates for each infection. Results: The global pooled prevalence in pregnant women of HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis was 2.9% (95% CI, 2.4–3.4%), 4.8% (3.8–5.8%), 1.0% (0.8–1.3%), and 0.8% (0.7–0.9%). The pooled prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis in low-income countries was higher than the global level (HIV: 5.2% [1.6–10.5%); HBV: 6.6% (5.4–7.9%); HCV: 2.7% (1.6–4.1%); syphilis: 3.3% (2.2–4.6%]). The pooled prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis in lower-middle-income countries was higher than the global level (HIV: 2.9% [0.8–6.1%]; HBV: 4.9% [3.8–6.1%]; HCV: 2.3% [1.2–3.6%]; syphilis: 1.5% [1.0–2.2%]). Conclusions: The prevalence of these infections among pregnant women was particularly high in resource-poor settings. The relevance and feasibility of current global practice guidelines for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of these infections in lower-middle-income countries must be evaluated, including timely access to screening and therapeutics. |
