Abstract:
Objective To compare the short-term mortality of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in patients with chronic hepatitis B following lamivudine versus entecavir antiviral treatment. Methods All chronic hepatitis B patients associated with ACLF were included in this analysis if they were treated with lamivudine or entecavirat the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, from August 2010 to August 2016. Results A total of 56 patients were included (36 in lamivudine group and 20 in entecavir group). The 7-day, 14-day and 28-day survival rate was 94％, 72％ and 64％ in lamivudine group, and 70％, 65％ and 65％ in entecavir group. Lamivudine group showed significantly lower 7-day mortality than entecavir group, but no significant difference in 14-day and 28-day mortality. Subgroup analysis did not show significant difference in 28-day mortality between the two groups either in model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)≤30 patients or in ACLF grade 0-1 patients. Lamivudine treatment was associated with significantly lower 7-day mortality than entecavir in cirrhosis patients, but no significant difference in 14-day and 28-day mortality. Conclusions Lamivudine treatment is associated with significantly higher 7-day survival rate than entecavir. However, the short-term (within 28 days) mortality of acute on chronic liver failure in chronic hepatitis B patients is similar between lamivudine and entecavir treatment. Lamivudine is also appropriate for the patients with cirrhosis or waiting for liver transplantation.
