In this study, we aimed to compare the HBV seroprevalances of voluntary blood donors and the healthy persons who required premarital screening.
HBsAg ELISA results were collected retrospectively from the records of 9,949 blood donors and 954 healthy persons who required premarital screening.
HBsAg was detected in 182 of 9,949 (%1.8) voluntary blood donors and 32 of 954 (%3.4) healthy persons who required premarital screening. HBsAg seropositivity was significiantly higher in the healthy persons who required premarital screening than in blood donors (p = 0.0016).
Premarital screening is mandatory in our country, and it may provide more accurate epidemiological data to determine HBV seroprevalence than in other selected groups such as blood donors.
在本研究中，我们旨在比较自愿献血者和需要婚前筛查的健康人群的乙肝病毒血清流行率。
回顾性收集了9949名献血者和954名需要婚前筛查的健康人的乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）结果。
在9949名自愿献血者中，有182人（1.8%）检测出HBsAg，在954名需要婚前筛查的健康人中，有32人（3.4%）检测出HBsAg。需要婚前筛查的健康人群中HBsAg血清阳性率显著高于献血者（p = 0.0016）。
在我国，婚前筛查是强制性的，与献血者等其他特定人群相比，它可能为确定乙肝病毒血清流行率提供更准确的流行病学数据。
