OBJECTIVES: Sustained virological response (SVR) decreases the risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related events. Nevertheless, a substantial risk of events persists. We estimated incidences and identified factors associated with severe clinical events after SVR following treatment with a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. METHODS: Participants from the ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH were included if they reached SVR. Incidence rates of overall mortality, liver-related events, AIDS-defining events, ischaemic events and non-liver non-AIDS-defining cancers (NLNA) were estimated. Factors associated with the risk of those events were identified using Poisson models adjusted on age at SVR and sex. RESULTS: In all, 775 participants were included. Incidence rates (95% confidence interval) of liver-related events, overall mortality, AIDS-defining events, ischaemic events and NLNA cancers per 1000 person-years were 5.9 (3.3-10.3), 22.2 (16.8-29.5), 0.6 (0.1-4.5), 7.3 (4.4-12.2) and 13.7 (9.4-20.0), respectively. For all events, incidence rates were higher in cirrhotic than in non-cirrhotic participants. Cirrhosis, liver stiffness and CD4 count were associated with liver-related events. Factors associated with overall mortality were age, cirrhosis, liver stiffness and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). For ischaemic events and NLNA cancers, associated factors were total cholesterol and CD4 count, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: After SVR following a DAA treatment, liver-related and AIDS-defining events were observed less frequently than NLNA cancers. Severity of liver disease was associated with the risk of liver-related events and of overall mortality but not with ischaemic events and NLNA cancers. Factors reflecting HIV infection were associated with NLNA cancers and liver-related events.< Réduire
