- W3127920578 abstract "Objectives To assess the degree of liver stiffness using transient elastography in Egyptian children infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) at baseline and 1 year after achievement of sustained virologic response (SVR) with direct acting antivirals. Study design This prospective study included children infected with HCV who received treatment with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir and achieved SVR. At baseline and 1 year after achievement of SVR, the extent of hepatic fibrosis was assessed by transient elastography using FibroScan to measure liver stiffness, in addition to noninvasive markers including aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index. Results The study included 23 cases that had variable degrees of fibrosis at baseline; their ages ranged between 10 and 18 years. At baseline, 13 patients had F1; 3 patients had F1-F2; 1 patient had F2; 3 patients had F3; 2 had F3-F4; and 2 patients with F4. One year after achievement of SVR, there was a statistically significant improvement in liver stiffness, APRI, and FIB-4 index (P = .03, <.001, .02, respectively). In 13 patients (56.5%), the liver stiffness improved; in 7 patients, it was stationary; and the remaining 3 patients showed mild increase in liver stiffness that was, however, associated with improvement in APRI and FIB-4 index. Comorbid conditions and previous treatment with interferon were not associated with increased liver stiffness 1 year after SVR. Conclusions Egyptian children infected with HCV genotype 4 achieved significant regression in liver stiffness after treatment with direct acting antivirals.
