Cost-effectiveness of hepatitis C virus screening, and subsequent monitoring or treatment among pregnant women in the Netherlands	2020-10-16		.txt	text/plain	5915	310	51	However, it is conceivable that in the near future DAA treatment of HCV-infected women during pregnancy becomes available, not only to limit disease progression in the patient, but also to prevent vertical transmission of the virus to the child. A screening model linked to HCV-disease states within a Markov model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness (CE) of HCV screening of pregnant women, with initial treatment during pregnancy, compared to current practice (no screening and no intervention) from a health-care payer perspective in the Netherlands. We subsequently determined the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of HCV screening and treatment among the four cohorts of pregnant women following the different scenarios and comparisons. Our present study demonstrates that HCV screening of pregnant women and subsequent immediate treatment of all HCV-positive individuals with DAAs is a cost-effective intervention in the Netherlands.	./cache/cord-013244-d6saaiu9.txt	./txt/cord-013244-d6saaiu9.txt
