Zusammenfassung:	This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on national surveillance of viral hepatitis in Italy. Interrupted time series analysis. Using an interrupted time series analysis with a customised AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average model on hepatitis cases reported to the Integrated Epidemiological System of Acute Viral Hepatitis from 2006 to 2022, we examined trends in incidence, time to diagnosis and time to epidemiological investigations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The quarterly incidence of hepatitis B (−0.251, P = 0.05) and hepatitis C (−0.243, P = 0.003) significantly decreased with the onset of the pandemic. Surveillance times for hepatitis B (5.496, P
