Efficacy of telbivudine on preventing mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus: a Meta-analysis
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of telbivudine on preventing mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV)
and to provide a basis for the prevention and control of mother-to-child transmission of HBV. Methods We retrieved the domestic and foreign literatures about controlled clinical trials of telbivudine preventing mother-to-child transmission of HBV. Meta-a
nalysis was used to analyze HBV DNA level of HBV-infected pregnant women
and HBsAg and HBV DNA seropositivity of infants. Results The HBV DNA level of pregnant women of telbivudine group was decreased after treatment (WMD=3.62
95%CI=3.41 to 3.82
P
0.01)
and was lower than those in control group before parturition (WMD=-3.51
95%CI=-3.79 to -3.23
P
0.01). Within 24 hours after infants birth
the seropositivity of HBsAg and HBV DNA of telbivudine group infants were 11.5% and 3.9% respectively
lower than those in control group
25.8% and 17.7% respectively (RR=0.45
95%CI=0.32 to 0.63
P
0.01; RR=0.26
95%CI=0.15 to 0.44
P
0.01). The HBV DNA seropositivity of 6-month infants from telbivudine group was 2.6%
lower than 19.2% for the control group (RR=0.15
95%CI=0.06 to 0.39
P
0.01). The seropositivity of HBsAg and HBV DNA of 12-month infants from telbivudine group were 3.8% and 2.2% respectively
lower than 21.5% and 16.6% for the control group (RR=0.18
95%CI=0.09 to 0.39
P
0.01; RR=0.15
95%CI=0.06 to 0.38
P
0.01). Conclusion Telbivudine treatment during the second and third trimester of pregnancy reduces HBV DNA level in pregnant women
and ultimately prevents mother-to-child transmission of HBV.
