However, the preventive interventions available are extremely effective. This review summarizes evidence regarding the cost\u2010effectiveness of mother\u2010to\u2010child\u2010transmission preventive screenings, to help policy makers in choosing the optimal antenatal screening strategy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted, using 3 databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Cost\u2010Effectiveness Analysis Registry. All articles regarding HIV screening to avoid vertical transmission were included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The review included 21 papers. Seven studies assessed the cost\u2010effectiveness of universal antenatal screening during early gestation. Two papers considered the integration of HIV screening with other medical interventions. Eight works estimated the cost\u2010effectiveness of HIV screening in late pregnancy. Finally, 4 papers considered the combination of multiple strategies. The selected papers focused on both developed and developing countries, with a different HIV prevalence. The characteristics and methodology of the studies were heterogeneous. However, all studies agreed about the main findings, outlining the cost\u2010effectiveness of both universal antenatal screening and HIV rescreening in late pregnancy. Cost\u2010effectiveness improved when HIV burden increased. The major findings were proved to be robust across various scenarios when tested in sensitivity analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The review confirmed the cost\u2010effectiveness not only of HIV universal antenatal screening but also of rescreening in late gestation in both developed and developing countries. Universal screening is cost\u2010effective even in case of extremely low HIV prevalence. Therefore, to maximize screening, coverage appears as a worldwide priority. In certain settings, a targeted screening towards high\u2010risk groups could be a valuable option.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpm.2418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,29]],"date-time":"2017-05-29T09:56:42Z","timestamp":1496051802000},"page":"31-50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["HIV screening in pregnant women: A systematic review of cost\u2010effectiveness studies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Bert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7357-2892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Rosaria","family":"Gualano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Biancone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valerio","family":"Brescia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Camussi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Martorana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silvana","family":"Secinaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Siliquini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.38643.368692.68"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.283.9.1175"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","unstructured":"Core epidemiology\u2014July 2015.http:\/\/www.unaids.org\/en\/resources\/documents\/2015\/20150714_coreepidemiologyslides_ppt.
