Objectives.
This study was performed to define the overall treatment response rates and treatment completion rates among the population of Hepatitis C infected patients at an urban VA Medical Center.
Additionally, we examined whether pretreatment liver biopsy is a positive predictor for treatment completion and if the presence of mental health disorders is a negative predictor for treatment completion.
Methods.
Retrospective chart review was performed on the 375 patients that were treated for HCV and met the study inclusion parameters between January 1, 2003 and April 1, 2008 at our institution.
Clinical data was obtained from the computerized patient record system and was analyzed for respective parameters.
Results.
Sustained virological response was achieved in 116 (31%) patients.
169 (45%) patients completed a full treatment course.
Also, 44% of patients who received a pre-treatment liver biopsy completed treatment versus 46% completion rates for patients who did not receive a pretreatment liver biopsy.
Baseline ICD9 diagnosis of a mental health disorder was not associated with higher treatment discontinuation rates.
Conclusions.
In conclusion, pretreatment liver biopsy was not a positive predictor for treatment completion, and the presence of mental health disorders was not a negative predictor for treatment completion.
