Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in HIV. Factors contributing to the high rates of liver complications among HIV/HBV-coinfected individuals remain unknown.
North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design.
We performed a retrospective cohort study among HIV/HBV-coinfected patients in 10 US and Canadian cohorts of the North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design that validated ESLD (ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, variceal hemorrhage, and/or hepatic encephalopathy) and HCC diagnoses from 1996 to 2010. Multivariable Cox regression was used to examine adjusted hazard ratios [aHRs with 95% confidence interval (CIs)] of liver complications (first occurrence of ESLD or HCC) associated with hypothesized determinants and with increasing durations of HIV suppression (≤500 copies/mL).
Among 3573 HIV/HBV patients with 13,790 person-years of follow-up, 111 liver complications occurred (incidence rate = 8.0 [95% CI: 6.6 to 9.7] events/1000 person-years). Rates of liver complication were increased with non-black/non-Hispanic race [aHR = 1.76 (1.13-2.74)], diabetes mellitus [aHR = 2.07 (1.20-3.57)], lower time-updated CD4 cell count [<200 cells/mm: aHR = 2.59 (1.36-4.91); 201-499 cells/mm: aHR = 1.75 (1.01-3.06) versus ≥500 cells/mm], heavy alcohol use [aHR = 1.58 (1.04-2.39)], and higher FIB-4 at start of follow-up [>3.25: aHR = 9.79 (5.73-16.74); 1.45-3.25: aHR = 3.20 (1.87-5.47) versus FIB-4 <1.45]. HIV suppression for ≥6 months was associated with lower liver complication rates compared with those with unsuppressed HIV [aHR = 0.56 (0.35-0.91)].
Non-black/non-Hispanic race, diabetes, lower CD4 cell count, heavy alcohol use, and advanced liver fibrosis were determinants of liver complications among HIV/HBV patients. Sustained HIV suppression should be a focus for HIV/HBV-coinfected patients to reduce the risks of ESLD/HCC.
乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 感染是导致艾滋病毒感染者发生终末期肝病 (ESLD) 和肝细胞癌 (HCC) 的主要原因。导致 HIV/HBV 合并感染个体中肝脏并发症发生率高的因素仍不清楚。
北美艾滋病队列协作研究与设计。
我们对北美艾滋病队列协作研究与设计中的 10 个美国和加拿大队列中的 HIV/HBV 合并感染患者进行了回顾性队列研究,验证了 1996 年至 2010 年 ESLD(腹水、自发性细菌性腹膜炎、静脉曲张出血和/或肝性脑病)和 HCC 的诊断。多变量 Cox 回归用于检查与假设决定因素相关的调整后风险比(aHR,95%置信区间 [CI])和 HIV 抑制持续时间增加(≤500 拷贝/mL)的肝脏并发症(首次发生 ESLD 或 HCC)的风险。
在 3573 名 HIV/HBV 患者中,有 13790 人年的随访时间,发生了 111 例肝脏并发症(发生率=8.0 [95%CI:6.6 至 9.7]例/1000 人年)。非黑人和非西班牙裔种族[aHR=1.76(1.13-2.74)]、糖尿病[aHR=2.07(1.20-3.57)]、较低的时间更新 CD4 细胞计数[<200 个细胞/mm:aHR=2.59(1.36-4.91);201-499 个细胞/mm:aHR=1.75(1.01-3.06)与≥500 个细胞/mm]、大量饮酒[aHR=1.58(1.04-2.39)]和较高的 FIB-4 起始随访时[aHR=9.79(5.73-16.74);1.45-3.25:aHR=3.20(1.87-5.47)与 FIB-4<1.45],与较高的肝脏并发症发生率相关。与未抑制的 HIV 相比,HIV 抑制时间≥6 个月与较低的肝脏并发症发生率相关[aHR=0.56(0.35-0.91)]。
非黑人和非西班牙裔种族、糖尿病、较低的 CD4 细胞计数、大量饮酒和晚期肝纤维化是 HIV/HBV 患者发生肝脏并发症的决定因素。持续抑制 HIV 应成为 HIV/HBV 合并感染患者的重点,以降低 ESLD/HCC 的风险。
