We carried out a cost analysis of a universal prenatal screening policy for hepatitis B virus infection in pregnant women. A universal screening policy in the province of Quebec (87,000 births per year) would cost about $473,000 per year and the prevention of one chronic carrier, $8,915. The cost varied greatly according to the ethnic origin of the mother and the cost of the serologic test. Strategies to reduce the cost of the serologic test could greatly reduce the cost of this screening policy.
我们对一项针对孕妇进行乙肝病毒感染的普遍产前筛查政策进行了成本分析。魁北克省（每年有87,000例分娩）的一项普遍筛查政策每年将花费约47.3万美元，预防一例慢性携带者的成本为8,915美元。成本因母亲的种族出身和血清学检测成本的不同而有很大差异。降低血清学检测成本的策略可以大幅降低这项筛查政策的成本。
