Popis: Background Direct Acting Antivirals (DAAs) represent a large improvement in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, resulting in Methods A descriptive, ambispective, longitudinal study was conducted. A cohort of 261 adult patients received PegIFNα2a+RBV therapy before 2014; 167 (64%) did not respond, 83 of these were subsequently treated with SOF/LDV ± RBV or OBV/PTV/r/DSV ± RBV. Child-Pugh-Score (CPS), Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and AST to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) were evaluated before and after treatment. Results SVR with PegIFNα2a+RBV was 36%, and 97.5% with DAAs. CPS, FIB-4 and APRI improved significantly after DAA treatment, mainly because of liver transaminase reduction. Conclusions DAA treatment showed excellent SVR rates in Mexican patients who had not responded to PegIFNα2a+RBV therapy. Improvement in CPS, FIB-4 and APRI without improvement in fibrosis was observed in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients, as well as considerable reduction in liver transaminases, which suggests a reduction in hepatic necroinflammation.
