摘要
我们评估了在一个丙型肝炎(HCV)高发的城市学术医疗中心急诊科实施自动丙型肝炎(HCV)选择退出筛查的影响,而该急诊科长期以来采用的是丙型肝炎(HCV)选择加入筛查模式。我们对实施前后九个月的情况进行了比较。HCV检测率提高了502%,活动性HCV感染识别率提高了212%。在急诊科等有大量机会进行 HCV 诊断的场所,应考虑选择退出 HCV 筛查模式。(Am J Public Health.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307783 )。
Automated Opt-Out Hepatitis C Testing to Reduce Missed Screening Opportunities in the Emergency Department.
We evaluated the impact of implementing automated hepatitis C (HCV) opt-out screening in the emergency department of an urban, academic medical center with high HCV prevalence, in the context of a longstanding HCV opt-in screening model. We compared nine-month periods before and after implementation. HCV testing increased by 502%, and active HCV infection identification increased by 212%. Settings where there is great opportunity for HCV diagnosis, such as emergency department settings, should consider opt-out HCV screening models.
