BACKGROUND: the development of interferon-free regimens, based on direct acting antivirals (DAAs) has revolutionized the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
AIMS: to determine if there have been changes in the characteristics of hospital admissions due to decompensated cirrhosis in a general hospital since the introduction of DAAs.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: this was a prospective study of all hospital admissions due to decompensated cirrhosis during two periods: October 2012-October 2014 (P-I) and July 2016-July 2018 (P-II). Clinical and demographic variables were collected and standard statistical methods were used for the analysis.
RESULTS: there were 746 hospital admissions; 347 in P-I and 399 in P-II. P-I patients were younger (59 vs 63 years; p = 0.034), while the proportion of admissions due to HCV-cirrhosis was lower in P-II (15.8 % vs 21.6 %; p = 0.041). There were no significant differences in the proportion of admissions due to other etiologies of cirrhosis between both periods. Patients in the P-II group presented an active viral infection (57.1 vs 97.3 %; p = 0.001) less frequently and had a higher rate of excessive alcohol consumption (55.5 vs 30.7 %; p = 0.003) when admitted, while HIV co-infection was less frequent (1.6 % vs 10.7 %; p = 0.039).
CONCLUSION: the proportion of admissions due to decompensated HCV-related cirrhosis has decreased by almost 30 % since the introduction of the DAA. In addition, the characteristics of patients admitted have changed since the application of interferon-free regimens.
