Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Birth defects.

    Structural defect in newborns or infants were reported as birth defects. The monitoring of birth defects was conducted by a clinical examination during each visit, and further clinical imaging or other tests were performed if indicated. The birth defect rate represented the proportion of infants with a defect among all live births.

    From prenatal tenofovir alafenamide exposure to the birth and postnatal period up to 7 months of age.

  • The rate of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus.

    The rate of perinatal transmission was defined as the proportion of infants who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen at 7 months of age.

    At 7 months of age.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Adverse events.

    From prenatal tenofovir alafenamide exposure to the delivery (birth) and postnatal period up to 7 months (of age).

  • Alanine aminotransferase flare.

    At postpartum month 7.

  • Infants' growth.

    At birth and 7 months of age.

  • HBV DNA level.

    Immediately before or at delivery.

  • Hepatitis B e antigen status.

    At postpartum month 7.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
