There are limited real-world data on the efficacy of direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for hepatitis C (HCV) in Australia. In this study, the efficacy of DAA therapy for HCV was compared between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic cohorts. Patients without end-of-treatment response (EoTR) were observed to ascertain likelihood of achieving sustained virological response at 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12). A total of 334 patients with HCV was included. Overall SVR12 was 96.7% with minimal differences in SVR12 between the cirrhosis and non-cirrhosis groups (95.7 and 97.3%). There were 20 patients (5.99%) that failed to achieve an EoTR of which 80.0% (n = 16) went on to achieve SVR12. These results suggest DAA therapy is effective with high rates of SVR12 even in patients that do not achieve an EoTR.
澳大利亚针对丙型肝炎(HCV)的直接作用抗病毒(DAA)疗法的真实世界数据有限。本研究比较了肝硬化和非肝硬化队列中 DAA 治疗 HCV 的疗效。观察未达到治疗结束时应答(EoTR)的患者,以确定治疗后 12 周(SVR12)时实现持续病毒学应答的可能性。共纳入 334 例 HCV 患者。总体 SVR12 为 96.7%,肝硬化和非肝硬化组之间 SVR12 差异极小(分别为 95.7%和 97.3%)。有 20 名患者(5.99%)未能达到 EoTR,其中 80.0%(n=16)实现了 SVR12。这些结果表明,即使在未达到 EoTR 的患者中,DAA 治疗也非常有效,SVR12 率很高。
