Prenatal hepatitis B screening and associated factors in a high prevalence district of Lira, northern Uganda: A community based cross sectional study

BMC Public Health Jul 31, 2019

Katamba PS, et al. - Among pregnant women (n = 423) in the sub counties of Aromo and Agweng in the Lira district, researchers assessed the proportion of pregnant women screened for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and factors related to prenatal HBV screening. They gathered data using open data kit. STATA version 14 was used to analyze the collected data. During the current pregnancy, 35 women (8.3%) had undergone screening for HBV, which indicates a low level of HBV screening among pregnant women in Lira. Perceived risk, respondent’s age, husband/partner’s education, and past failure to access to HBV screening services at government health facilities were all identified as factors related to prenatal HBV screening in Lira.
