To compare the prognostic performance of liver biopsy with that of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) to predict survival and liver decompensations among HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected patients.
Retrospective cohort study.
Cohort of 297 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, who underwent a liver biopsy and LSM separated by 12 months or less, followed in 10 Spanish tertiary care centers from December 2005 to December 2011 (median follow-up, 5 years; interquartile range, 4.2-5.4 years). Liver biopsies were staged following the Scheuer's score. LSM was obtained by hepatic transient elastometry. A survival analysis was carried out and the integrated discrimination improvement was computed to compare the ability of the survival models to predict outcomes. The incidence of death from any cause and of development of the first decompensation of cirrhosis was calculated.
Overall mortality rate was 1.63 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-2.49] per 100 person-years. The adjusted hazard ratio [AHR (95% CI)] of baseline fibrosis (per stage of fibrosis) was 1.52 (1.08-2.15, P=0.017) and of LSM (per 5 kPa increase) 1.28 (1.12-1.46, P<0.001). LSM including models yielded a performance 3.9% better than the liver biopsy-based models (P=0.072). For the prediction of liver decompensations, the AHR (95% CI) of baseline fibrosis by liver biopsy (per stage of fibrosis) was 1.67 (1.15-2.43, P=0.007) and of LSM (per 5 kPa increase) 1.37 (1.21-1.54, P<0.001). LSM-based models yielded a performance 8.4% better than the liver biopsy-based models (P=0.045).
LSM-based prediction achieves a similar yield than liver biopsy-based models to predict overall mortality in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. Models including LSM could predict better liver decompensations than liver biopsy.
比较肝活检和肝硬度测量(LSM)对预测 HIV/丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)合并感染患者生存和肝功能失代偿的预后效能。
回顾性队列研究。
研究纳入了 297 例于 2005 年 12 月至 2011 年 12 月在西班牙 10 个三级保健中心接受了间隔 12 个月或更短时间的肝活检和 LSM 的 HIV/HCV 合并感染患者。肝活检根据 Scheuer 评分进行分期。LSM 通过瞬时弹性成像技术获得。进行生存分析,并计算综合判别改善以比较生存模型预测结局的能力。计算任何原因导致的死亡率和首次肝硬化失代偿的发生率。
总死亡率为 1.63 [95%置信区间(CI)1.06-2.49] / 100 人年。基线纤维化(每 stage 纤维化)的调整后危险比(AHR (95%CI))为 1.52(1.08-2.15,P=0.017),LSM(每增加 5 kPa)为 1.28(1.12-1.46,P<0.001)。包含 LSM 的模型比基于肝活检的模型性能提高了 3.9%(P=0.072)。对于预测肝功能失代偿,肝活检(每 stage 纤维化)的基线纤维化的 AHR (95%CI)为 1.67(1.15-2.43,P=0.007),LSM(每增加 5 kPa)为 1.37(1.21-1.54,P<0.001)。基于 LSM 的模型比基于肝活检的模型性能提高了 8.4%(P=0.045)。
基于 LSM 的预测与基于肝活检的模型在预测 HIV/HCV 合并感染患者总体死亡率方面具有相似的效果。包含 LSM 的模型可以更好地预测肝功能失代偿。
