| Abstract: |
The long-term benefits of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy after achieving sustained virological response (SVR) remain uncertain in the Chinese population. This study evaluates the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatic decompensation, and all-cause mortality among Chinese hepatitis C patients treated with DAAs. We included patients diagnosed since 2011 and followed them until November 1, 2022. The primary outcomes were HCC, hepatic decompensation, and mortality. Multivariable proportional hazards model was used to assess the impact of SVR and cirrhosis status. The cohort consisted of 1272 patients with SVR (92.1%) and 109 without SVR (7.9%), with a median follow-up of 61 months. The incidence of HCC was significantly lower in the SVR group (5.1 per 1000 person-years) compared to the no-SVR group (15.0 per 1000 person-years). Achieving SVR was associated with a significantly reduced risk of HCC (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.32; 95% CI 0.16–0.67). Cirrhosis was linked to an increased risk of developing HCC and hepatic decompensation. These findings highlight the importance of early DAA treatment, particularly for patients with cirrhosis.
