BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of children with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) at 1 year after the effective treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL).
METHODS: All 50 patients treated for CHC with a fixed dose SOF/VEL in the noncommercial, nonrandomized, open-label PANDAA-PED study achieved sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment. Evaluation of HRQL at 1-year posttreatment was compared with the baseline (before the treatment) assessment. KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaires, which included 5 dimensions of HRQL, for child self-reporting and parent proxy reporting were used. The normal range for the population was set to T values of 40-60 points. Child-parent agreement was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
RESULTS: Mean T values were within the normal range for all HRQL dimensions. A significant improvement in "autonomy & parent relation" in children's self-assessment (from 48.3 to 51.5, P = 0.03) was observed. In parent proxy assessment, a significant decrease occurred in "school" dimension (from 49.5 to 45.8, P = 0.03), which was not revealed at 3-month posttreatment. Older age was associated with worse HRQL scores in all dimensions. Evaluation of the ICC for child self-reports versus parent proxy reports revealed poor-to-moderate agreement for most single measures, lower than at 3-month posttreatment analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to present the long-term influence of treatment with direct-acting antivirals on patient-reported outcomes in children. At 1 year after effective treatment with SOF/VEL, an improvement in some areas of children's well-being was revealed, which may indicate also some patient-reported outcomes benefits of direct-acting antiviral therapy. Despite the improvement in the child self-report of "autonomy & parent relation," there was a more pronounced discrepancy between children self-reports and parents proxy reports in all dimensions of HRQL. Older patients' age correlated with worse HRQL assessment. If this finding is mediated by the duration of hepatitis C virus infection, it would support recommendation for the treatment of younger children.
