Abstract
Introduction: The minority of the chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients received polyethylene glycol interferon (PEG-IFN) combined with nucleotide analogs (NAs) can obtain hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance.
Methods: In order to find out the advantaged population, we retrospectively collected 122 CHB patients treated with NAs alone or NAs plus PEG-IFN for 48 weeks, who were admitted to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from 2019 to 2024.
Results: We found HBsAg clearance rate in NAs plus PEG-IFN group was 40.98%, which was significantly higher than that in the NAs group. Thus, NAs plus PEG-IFN therapy served as a relatively ideal regimen and the patients received combined treatment were then incorporated for further analysis for searching efficacy predictors. Through using univariate and multivariate analysis, we confirmed the predictive value of HBsAg, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at week 24, and ALT change values from baseline to week 24. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of each indicators ranged from 0.663 to 0.982.
Discussion: In conclusion, our study verified the clinical value of NAs plus PEG-IFN for treating CHB patients. Moreover, for the first time, we found ALT change values from baseline to week 24 (dALT2) could act as a novel independent clinical efficacy predictors in the forementioned population.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Medicine publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research linking basic research to clinical practice and patient care, as well as translating scientific advances into new therapies and diagnostic tools. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
In addition to papers that provide a link between basic research and clinical practice, a particular emphasis is given to studies that are directly relevant to patient care. In this spirit, the journal publishes the latest research results and medical knowledge that facilitate the translation of scientific advances into new therapies or diagnostic tools. The full listing of the Specialty Sections represented by Frontiers in Medicine is as listed below. As well as the established medical disciplines, Frontiers in Medicine is launching new sections that together will facilitate
- the use of patient-reported outcomes under real world conditions
- the exploitation of big data and the use of novel information and communication tools in the assessment of new medicines
- the scientific bases for guidelines and decisions from regulatory authorities
- access to medicinal products and medical devices worldwide
- addressing the grand health challenges around the world
