HIV infection does not increase the risk of liver complications in hepatitis C virus-infected patient with advanced fibrosis, after sustained virological response with direct-acting antivirals

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of HIV coinfection on the risk of developing liver-related complications in HCV-infected patients with advanced fibrosis treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) after sustained virological response (SVR).

DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.

SETTING: Multicenter.

SUBJECTS: Patients from the GEHEP and HEPAVIR cohorts were selected if they fulfilled the following criteria: treatment against HCV with all oral DAA combination; SVR achievement, defined as undetectable plasma HCV RNA 12 weeks after the end of therapy; pretreatment liver stiffness equal to or higher than 9.5 kPa; liver stiffness measurement at the time of SVR.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The primary variable was the time until the development of a liver complication or requiring liver transplant.

RESULTS: Seven hundred and seventeen patients were included and 507 (71%) were coinfected with HIV. After a median follow-up time of 21 (14-25) months, 15 (2.1%) patients developed a liver complication and/or underwent a liver transplant and 15 (2.0%) died. The probability of remaining free of hepatic complications or transplant at 1 and 2 was, respectively, 99 and 96% in HCV-monoinfected patients and 99 and 98% in coinfected patients (P = 0.648). In a multivariate analysis, in which nonliver-related death was considered as a competing event, HIV coinfection was not associated with the appearance of hepatic complications or requiring liver transplant [hazard ratio = 0.24; 95% CI (0.03-1.93), P = 0.181]. Having presented hepatic decompensation prior to SVR [hazard ratio = 29.06; 95% CI (3.91-216.16), P < 0.001] and the value of liver stiffness at the SVR time-point (hazard ratio = 1.12; 95% CI (1.07-1.18), P < 0.001] were associated with a higher probability of development of liver events.

CONCLUSION: HIV coinfection is not associated with a higher probability of developing liver complications in HCV-infected patients with advanced fibrosis, who achieved SVR with interferon-free regimens.
