Abstract
Objective To systematically evaluate the difference in recurrence-free survival rate, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate, all-cause mortality rate, and liver-related mortality rate between hepatitis C-related HCC patients receiving oral direct-acting antiviral (DAA) and those receiving non-DAA (NDAA) treatment regimen. Methods CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for Cohort studies of DAA in the treatment of hepatitis C-related HCC patients published before December 2020, and quality assessment and meta-analysis were performed. Results A total of 10 cohort studies were included in this study, with 3108 patients in total. The meta-analysis showed that compared with NDAA regimen, DAA treatment significantly increased recurrence-free survival rate (risk ratio [RR]=1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.72, P=0.005) and significantly reduced HCC recurrence rate (RR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.42-0.63, P Conclusion DAA treatment is beneficial and safe for hepatitis C-related HCC patients.
