Determinants of outcomes in patients with hepatitis B virus-decompensated cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT: The role of pre-treatment HBV DNA levels on the prognosis of hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis is unclear. This study investigated the effects of pre-treatment HBV DNA and other determinants on short-term and long-term survival of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with decompensated cirrhosis. A total of 278 cirrhotic decompensated CHB patients treated with entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate were retrospectively enrolled. Cox regression models were used to analyze factors associated with all-cause mortality. The median follow-up time was 17 months (IQR2.17-58.94), during which 132 patients (47.4%) either died or underwent liver transplantation. The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 16%, 29%, 34%, 39%, and 51% at the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year,
