dc.description.abstract | Advanced liver fibrosis is a negative predictor of virologic response in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients. Biopsy, however, is invasive, costly, and carries some risk of complications.Using data from the prospective, international cohort study PROPHESYS, we assessed two alternative noninvasive measures of fibrosis, the FIB-4 and AST-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), to predict virologic response in CHC patients.CHC genotype 1, monoinfected, treatment-naive patients prescribed peginterferon alfa-2a (40 KD)/ribavirin in accordance with country-specific legal and regulatory requirements and who had baseline METAVIR, FIB-4, and APRI scores (N = 1,592) were included in this analysis. Patients were stratified according to the baseline METAVIR, FIB-4, or APRI score to assess virologic response [hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA < 50 IU/mL] by week 4 of treatment (rapid virologic response) and 24 weeks after untreated follow-up ]sustained virologic response (SVR)]. Baseline predictors of SVR were explored by multiple logistic regression, and the strength of the association between each fibrosis measure and SVR was evaluated. Both FIB-4 and APRI scores increased with increasing levels of biopsy-assessed fibrosis. the association between FIB-4 and SVR (p < 0.1 x 10(-30)) was stronger than that between METAVIR (p = 3.86 x 10(-13)) or APRI (p = 5.48 x 10(-6)) and SVR. Baseline factors significantly associated with SVR included male gender, lower HCV RNA, lower FIB-4 score, no steatosis, and higher alanine aminotransferase ratio.The FIB-4 index provides a valuable, noninvasive measure of fibrosis and can be used to predict virologic response in patients treated with peginterferon alfa-2a (40 KD)/ribavirin. | en |
