Clinically applicable models to predict hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) response to peginterferon (PEG-IFN) are scarce. This study aimed to develop simple scoring systems, based on multiple parameters, for predicting sustained HBeAg seroconversion to PEG-IFN.
Eighty-five treatment-naïve patients with HBeAg-positive CHB underwent 52-week PEG-IFN treatment and 24-week follow-up. Logistic regression analysis assessed parameters at baseline and weeks 12, 24, and 52 to predict HBeAg seroconversion at week 24 off-treatment. The best three predictors at each time point were included in prediction models of PEG-IFN therapy efficacy.
The three most meaningful predictors were alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 5 × ULN, HBeAg ≤ 500 S/CO, and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) > 10.7 S/CO at baseline; HBeAg ≤ 20 S/CO, anti-HBc > 11.7 S/CO, and HBeAg decline > 1 log S/CO at week 12; ALT > 2 × ULN, HBeAg ≤ 15 S/CO, and anti-HBc > 10.4 S/CO at week 24; HBeAg ≤ 5 S/CO, anti-HBc > 11.1 S/CO, and hepatitis B virus DNA decline > 2 log copies/mL at week 52. Parameters meeting optimal cutoff thresholds were scored 1 or otherwise scored 0. For total scores of 0 versus 3 at baseline and weeks 12, 24, and 52, response rates were 6.3%, 12.5%, 0%, and 0% versus 90.0%, 83.3%, 76.9%, and 86.4%, respectively.
We successfully established prediction models for PEG-IFN response in HBeAg-positive CHB.
临床上可用于预测乙肝e抗原(HBeAg)阳性慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)对聚乙二醇干扰素(PEG-IFN)反应的模型较少。本研究旨在基于多个参数开发简单的评分系统,以预测PEG-IFN治疗后HBeAg持续血清学转换情况。
85例未经治疗的HBeAg阳性CHB患者接受了为期52周的PEG-IFN治疗及24周的随访。采用逻辑回归分析评估基线、第12周、第24周和第52周的参数,以预测停药后第24周的HBeAg血清学转换情况。将每个时间点最具预测性的三个指标纳入PEG-IFN治疗疗效预测模型。
三个最有意义的预测指标分别为:基线时丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)>5×ULN、HBeAg≤500 S/CO以及乙肝核心抗体(抗-HBc)>10.7 S/CO;第12周时HBeAg≤20 S/CO、抗-HBc>11.7 S/CO以及HBeAg下降>1 log S/CO;第24周时ALT>2×ULN、HBeAg≤15 S/CO以及抗-HBc>10.4 S/CO;第52周时HBeAg≤5 S/CO、抗-HBc>11.1 S/CO以及乙肝病毒DNA下降>2 log拷贝/mL。符合最佳临界阈值的指标得分为1,否则得分为0。基线、第12周、第24周和第52周总得分0分与3分的患者,其应答率分别为6.3%、12.5%、0%、0%和90.0%、83.3%、76.9%、86.4%。
我们成功建立了HBeAg阳性CHB患者对PEG-IFN反应的预测模型。
