- W2939846188 abstract "Background The prevalence and clinical epidemiological profile of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have changed over time. Aim This study aimed to evaluate these changes in renal transplant recipients (RTx) comparing two different decades. Materials and methods RTx with HCV referred to RTx from 1993 to 2003 (A) and from 2004 to 2014 (B) were studied retrospectively. The demographic and clinical characteristics and different outcomes were compared between groups A and B. Variables that were statistically different were tested for inclusion in a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model predicting patient survival within the group. Results Among 11 715 RTx, the prevalence of HCV was 7% in A and 4.9% in B. In the more recent period (B), the mean age was older (46.2 vs. 39.5 years), with more males (72 vs. 60.7%), larger number of deceased donors (74 vs. 55%), higher percentage of previous RTx (27 vs. 13.7%), less frequent history of blood transfusion (81 vs. 89.4%), lower prevalence of hepatitis B virus coinfection (4.7 vs. 21.4%), and higher percentage of cirrhotic patients (13 vs. 5%). Patients of group B more frequently underwent treatment of HCV (29 vs. 9%), less frequently used azathioprine (38.6 vs. 60.7%) and cyclosporine (11.8 vs. 74.7%), and more frequently used tacrolimus (91 vs. 27.3%). In the outcomes, graft loss showed no difference between periods; however, decompensation was more frequent (P = 0.007) and patients’ survival was lower in the more recent period (P = 0.032) compared with the earlier one. Conclusion The profile of RTx with HCV has changed over the last 20 years. Despite a decrease in the prevalence of HCV, new clinical challenges have emerged, such as more advanced age and a higher prevalence of cirrhosis." @default.
