Predictive model for neonatal HBV infection risk in infants of HBV-infected mothers in China: an observational study
Our study developed a reliable predictive model for assessing the risk of HBV infection among newborns of HBV-infected mothers in China. The model performed well across various child stages, genders, and racial subgroups. This research provides a foundation for the early identification of newborns at high risk for HBV infection, thereby reducing the risk of neonatal HBV transmission and supporting the rationale for individualized precision treatment.
