ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
We aimed to explore the risk factors associated with virological and clinical relapse, as well as their impact on overall mortality, in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients receiving nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) therapy prior to chemotherapy initiation.METHODS:
From 2010 to 2020, we conducted a prospective cohort study involving patients with HBV infection undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy. We utilized the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression models to assess risk factors.RESULTS:
We observed that TDF or TAF (HR 2.16, 95% CI 1.06-4.41; p = .034), anthracycline (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.10-2.73; p = .018), baseline HBV DNA (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.33-1.81; p < .001) and end-of-treatment HBsAg titre >100 IU/mL (HR 7.81, 95% CI 1.94-31.51; p = .004) were associated with increased risk of virological relapse. Additionally, TDF or TAF (HR 4.91, 95% CI 1.45-16.64; p = .011), baseline HBV DNA (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.10-1.99; p = .009) and end-of-treatment HBsAg titre >100 IU/mL (HR 6.09, 95% CI .95-38.87; p = .056) were associated with increased risk of clinical relapse. Furthermore, we found that virological relapse (HR 3.32, 95% CI 1.33-8.32; p = .010) and clinical relapse (HR 3.59, 95% CI 1.47-8.80; p = .005) significantly correlated with all-cause mortality in HBV patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy with prophylactic NUCs therapy.CONCLUSIONS:
The risk of virological and clinical relapse was linked to baseline HBV DNA, end-of-treatment HBsAg levels and TDF or TAF for prophylaxis; additionally, experiencing relapse heightens the risk of all-cause mortality. Further research is warranted to explore potential strategies for preventing virological and clinical relapse in high-risk patients.Palabras clave
