The effect of nucleos(t)ide analogues therapy in patients with decompensated cirrhosis remains unclear.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nucleos(t)ide analogues on decompensated cirrhotic patients.
An online search within PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central of Register of Controlled Trials and China Biology Medicine disc from 1998-01-01 to 2011-09-05 was conducted. A meta-analysis was performed. Relative risks of mortality rate, Child-Pugh-Turcotte score and hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion of the decompensated patients were studied.
Eight studies involving 511 patients were included. Data showed that lamivudine and telbivudine significantly decreased the mortality rate (relative risk 0.36, 95 % confidence interval 0.25-0.54), improved the Child-Pugh-Turcotte scores (mean difference -3.23, 95 % confidence interval -3.98 to -2.48) and promoted HBeAg seroconversion (relative risk 7.48, 95 % confidence interval 2.31-24.20).
For patients with decompensated cirrhosis, lamivudine and telbivudine significantly decrease the mortality rate and disease severity. Also, they promote their HBeAg seroconversion.
