Knowledge, perception and expectation of management of hepatitis B infection among pregnant hepatitis B carriers in Hong Kong
© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..
Lack of awareness regarding the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the interventions available during pregnancy among the pregnant carriers may influence their willingness and adherence to the management. This study assessed the knowledge, perception and expectation of HBV infection among pregnant HBV carriers in Hong Kong. A prospective multicentre cross-sectional questionnaire study was carried out between August 2019 and April 2021. The general knowledge on HBV, perception and expectation, and interventions to reduce vertical transmission were questioned. Obtaining ≥70% correct answers was defined as having sufficient knowledge. 422 (82.7%) were known carriers. Only 18.4% of women had sufficient overall knowledge. The correct answer rates and percentage of sufficient knowledge were statistically lower for HBV knowledge specific to pregnancy compared with general knowledge (42.5% vs. 58.5%, p < 0.001; 8.8% vs. 30.2%, p < 0.001 respectively). Multiple logistic regression showed higher education and receiving HBV medical care within a year prior to pregnancy were associated with sufficient overall (OR 3.46; 95% CI 2.05-5.83 and OR 2.76; 95% CI 1.62-4.7, p < 0.001), and general knowledge (OR 2.86; 95% CI 1.81-4.51 and OR 2.14; 95% CI 1.33-3.44, p < 0.05). 298 (58.4%), 357 (70.0%) and 150 (29.4%) women believed they should receive care by obstetrician, hepatologist or general practitioner respectively. 46.9% did not want to initiate antiviral treatment due to the cost, perceived teratogenicity and maternal side effects. The knowledge of HBV among pregnant carriers in Hong Kong was poor despite the majority of them being aware of their carrier status prior to the pregnancy.
