The long-term prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is not well characterised. We assessed long-term outcomes and the associated risk factors of HBV-ACLF patients in southern China.
We retrospectively analysed clinical data, adverse events, and clinical endpoint events of HBV-ACLF patients treated at our department between January 2014 and December 2018.
A total of 616 (52.3%) patients with cirrhosis and 561 (47.7%) patients without cirrhosis were included. In 973 (83%) patients, the disease was associated only with HBV, while 204 (17%) patients had two or more aetiological factors. The proportion of patients receiving antiviral treatment for HBV was low (20.3%). Further analyses indicated that patients without cirrhosis had a significantly lower 90-day liver transplantation-free mortality and higher 5-year survival rate than those with cirrhosis (59.5% vs. 27.6%; 62% vs. 36%; P < 0.05). Remarkably, self-withdrawal of nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) was an independent risk factor for short-term prognosis. Age, cirrhosis at admission, and platelet level were closely related to long-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients.
The proportion of HBV-ACLF patients receiving antiviral treatment is very low in south China. Cirrhosis at admission has a significant effect on both short-term and long-term prognosis. No significant improvement in the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients was observed compared with previous studies. More comprehensive access to antiviral treatment and long-term surveillance of HBV patients are key imperatives to reduce the incidence of HBV-ACLF and improve the prognosis.

乙型肝炎病毒相关慢加急性肝衰竭(HBV-ACLF)患者的长期预后尚不清楚。本研究评估了中国南方 HBV-ACLF 患者的长期结局和相关危险因素。
我们回顾性分析了 2014 年 1 月至 2018 年 12 月在我科治疗的 HBV-ACLF 患者的临床资料、不良事件和临床终点事件。
共纳入 616 例(52.3%)肝硬化患者和 561 例(47.7%)无肝硬化患者。在 973 例(83%)患者中,疾病仅与 HBV 相关,而 204 例(17%)患者有两种或两种以上病因。接受 HBV 抗病毒治疗的患者比例较低(20.3%)。进一步分析表明,无肝硬化患者的 90 天无肝移植死亡率显著低于肝硬化患者(59.5%比 27.6%;P<0.05),5 年生存率显著高于肝硬化患者(62%比 36%;P<0.05)。值得注意的是,核苷(酸)类似物(NA)的自我停药是短期预后的独立危险因素。年龄、入院时的肝硬化状态和血小板水平与 HBV-ACLF 患者的长期预后密切相关。
中国南方 HBV-ACLF 患者接受抗病毒治疗的比例非常低。入院时的肝硬化对短期和长期预后均有显著影响。与既往研究相比,HBV-ACLF 患者的短期预后未见明显改善。更全面地获得抗病毒治疗和长期监测 HBV 患者是降低 HBV-ACLF 发病率和改善预后的关键。
