PG - 648 LID - 10.21037/atm-20-3074 [doi] LID - 648 AB - BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of a sofosbuvir (SOF)-containing regimen in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection after liver transplantation (LT). METHODS: We performed a systematic search for relevant published data on the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Studies that evaluated any regimen in which SOF was used to treat patients with HCV infection after LT and reported the sustained virologic response 12 weeks (SVR12) after therapy were included. RESULTS: A total of 12 studies, involving 892 patients, were included in this analysis. The pooled estimate of SVR12 (sustained virologic response 12 weeks) was 88.1%. Subgroup analysis showed that patients who received SOF plus other DAAs had higher SVR12 than those treated with SOF plus ribavirin or peg-IFN. The pooled incidence of any adverse events (AEs) was 73.7%. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that the treatment response of SOF-containing regimens in patients with HCV infection after LT was satisfactory. However, more attention needs to be paid to the high rate of AEs associated with such regimens. CI - 2020 Annals of Translational Medicine. All rights reserved.
