(160) Predictors of responses to adefovir therapy in patients with lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus YMDD mutant before and after liver transplantation (original) (raw)

This study explores the efficacy of PEGIFN and ribavirin bitherapy in Tunisian patients with chronic hepatitis C and identifies predictors for treatment response. It involves a prospective analysis of 41 patients, focusing on the relationship between baseline characteristics and outcomes such as end-of-therapy and sustained virological responses. Results indicate a high rate of sustained virological response, particularly among cirrhotic patients, although no significant factors were identified that correlated with the treatment outcomes.
