To assess the incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients receiving direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA)-based therapy or interferon (IFN)-based therapy for hepatitis C and the effectiveness of preemptive anti-HBV therapy for preventing HBV reactivation.
The PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched, and 39 studies that reported HBV reactivation in HBV/hepatitis C virus coinfected patients receiving DAA-based therapy or IFN-based therapy were included. The primary outcome was the rate of HBV reactivation. The secondary outcomes included HBV reactivation-related hepatitis and the effectiveness of preemptive anti-HBV treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues. The pooled effects were assessed using a random effects model.
The rate of HBV reactivation was 21.1% in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive patients receiving DAA-based therapy and 11.9% in those receiving IFN-based therapy. The incidence of hepatitis was lower in HBsAg-positive patients with undetectable HBV DNA compared to patients with detectable HBV DNA receiving DAA therapy (RR = 0.20, 95%CI: 0.06-0.64, = 0.007). The pooled HBV reactivation rate in patients with previous HBV infection was 0.6% for those receiving DAA-based therapy and 0 for those receiving IFN-based therapy, and none of the patients experienced a hepatitis flare related to HBV reactivation. Preemptive anti-HBV treatment significantly reduced the potential risk of HBV reactivation in HBsAg-positive patients undergoing DAA-based therapy (RR = 0.31, 95%CI: 0.1-0.96, = 0.042).
The rate of HBV reactivation and hepatitis flare occurrence is higher in HBsAg-positive patients receiving DAA-based therapy than in those receiving IFN-based therapy, but these events occur less frequently in patients with previous HBV infection. Preemptive anti-HBV treatment is effective in preventing HBV reactivation.
评估接受直接作用抗病毒药物(DAA)或干扰素(IFN)治疗丙型肝炎的患者中乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)再激活的发生率,以及预防性抗 HBV 治疗预防 HBV 再激活的效果。
检索 PubMed、MEDLINE 和 EMBASE 数据库,纳入了 39 项报告 DAA 治疗或 IFN 治疗的 HBV/丙型肝炎病毒合并感染患者中 HBV 再激活的研究。主要结局为 HBV 再激活率。次要结局包括 HBV 再激活相关肝炎和核苷(酸)类似物预防性抗 HBV 治疗的效果。采用随机效应模型评估汇总效应。
HBsAg 阳性接受 DAA 治疗的患者中 HBV 再激活率为 21.1%,接受 IFN 治疗的患者为 11.9%。与 DAA 治疗中 HBV DNA 可检测的患者相比,HBV DNA 不可检测的 HBsAg 阳性患者发生肝炎的风险较低(RR=0.20,95%CI:0.06-0.64, = 0.007)。既往 HBV 感染者接受 DAA 治疗的患者中 HBV 再激活率为 0.6%,接受 IFN 治疗的患者为 0%,且无患者发生与 HBV 再激活相关的肝炎发作。预防性抗 HBV 治疗可显著降低 HBsAg 阳性患者接受 DAA 治疗时发生 HBV 再激活的潜在风险(RR=0.31,95%CI:0.1-0.96, = 0.042)。
与接受 IFN 治疗的患者相比,接受 DAA 治疗的 HBsAg 阳性患者中 HBV 再激活和肝炎发作的发生率更高,但在既往 HBV 感染者中这些事件的发生率较低。预防性抗 HBV 治疗可有效预防 HBV 再激活。
