after deduplication. In the end, 30 articles met the inclusion criteria. Studies originated from 19 different countries of the WHO's European Region, with the most prevalent being France (26.9%, 11/41). The 43.3% of the articles addressed opt-out testing strategies in emergency departments (EDs), 36.6% into prisons, 13.3% in primary care, and 6.6% among people who use drugs. Opt-out default testing was found to be effective in EDs and prisons, whereas only 2 articles tested the efficacy of opt-out strategies for HCV testing in primary care settings.
Conclusions: Opt-out strategies resulted in increased testing rates and higher cost-effectiveness in different settings, especially EDs and prisons. However, to identify individuals with undiagnosed infections, birth cohorts screening in the general population may be needed. Further research is needed to assess the utility of an opt-out default testing strategy in primary care settings.
Key messages: Opt-out strategies resulted in increased testing rates and higher cost-effectiveness in different settings. OpT-out strategies should be implemented in primary care settings to undercover the unknown infections.
