Abstract EN
This study evaluated the effect of diabetic control on achieving sustained virologic response in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who received direct-acting antivirals (Daclatasvir + Sofosbuvir ± Ribavirin).
It included 100 patients with chronic HCV infection (Treatment naive patients).
Patients were classified into 3 groups according to diabetic control; GI: non diabetics, GII : well controlled diabetics & GIII : poorly controlled diabetics.
All were subjected to clinical and laboratory examinations, abdominal ultrasonography and calculation of FIB-4 score.
PCR for HCV RNA was assessed prior to treatment, post treatment and 12 weeks post-treatment.
The results showed insignificant differences between all groups as regards sustained virologic response.
Overall sustained virologic response was achieved in 91 % of patients including 91.8 % of patients treated with Daclatasvir + Sofosbuvir and 89.7 % of those treated with Daclatasvir + Sofosbuvir + Ribavirin.
