The impact of hepatic steatosis (HS) on treatment response following nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients has not been clearly elucidated. We aimed to investigate the difference in HBeAg seroclearance between NA-treated HBeAg-positive CHB patients with and without HS.
We retrospectively recruited HBeAg-positive CHB patients receiving liver biopsy and NA monotherapy. The baseline clinical characteristics and cumulative incidence of HBeAg seroclearance were compared between patients with and without HS and age/gender-matched subgroup analysis was performed.
A total of 196 patients were enrolled from 2003 April to 2016 October. The mean age was 39.6 ± 11.2 years, 142 (72.4%) were males and 94 (48%) had histological evidence of HS. Median treatment duration and follow-up period were 24.3 months and 54.9 months, respectively. HBeAg seroclearance was achieved in 56/102 (54.9%) and 54/94 (57.4%) patients with and without HS, respectively (p = 0.830). The 5-year cumulative incidence of HBeAg seroclearance in patients with and without HS was 62.8 and 67.7% in overall population (p = 0.398) and 62.4 and 66.9% in age/gender-matched subgroups (p = 0.395), respectively. The rate of HBeAg seroclearance was comparable between patients with or without HS in different NA monotherapy (all p > 0.05).
HS had no significant impact on HBeAg seroclearance in HBeAg-positive CHB patients with NA monotherapy during long-term follow-up.
肝脂肪变性(HS)对核苷(酸)类似物(NA)治疗慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者治疗反应的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在研究伴有和不伴有 HS 的 NA 治疗 HBeAg 阳性 CHB 患者在 HBeAg 血清学清除方面的差异。
我们回顾性招募了接受肝活检和 NA 单药治疗的 HBeAg 阳性 CHB 患者。比较了 HS 患者和非 HS 患者的基线临床特征和 HBeAg 血清学清除的累积发生率,并进行了年龄/性别匹配的亚组分析。
共纳入了 196 例患者,时间范围为 2003 年 4 月至 2016 年 10 月。平均年龄为 39.6±11.2 岁,142 例(72.4%)为男性,94 例(48%)有组织学 HS 证据。中位治疗时间和随访时间分别为 24.3 个月和 54.9 个月。在伴有和不伴有 HS 的患者中,分别有 56/102(54.9%)和 54/94(57.4%)例患者实现了 HBeAg 血清学清除(p=0.830)。伴有和不伴有 HS 的患者的 5 年 HBeAg 血清学清除累积发生率分别为 62.8%和 67.7%(总体人群,p=0.398)和 62.4%和 66.9%(年龄/性别匹配亚组,p=0.395)。在不同的 NA 单药治疗中,伴有和不伴有 HS 的患者的 HBeAg 血清学清除率相似(均 p>0.05)。
在长期随访中,HS 对 NA 单药治疗的 HBeAg 阳性 CHB 患者的 HBeAg 血清学清除率没有显著影响。
