19. CONCLUSIONS HIV-infected patients with compensated liver cirrhosis had a relatively high survival with a low per year probability of first decompensation. HIV-infected patients with decompensated cirrhosis have a very poor prognosis. One third of our patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis died during the first year of follow-up. Child Pugh score apears as a good prognostic score for HIV- infected patients with liver cirrhosis. These results emphasize the critical importance of avoiding the development of end-stage liver disease in HIV-infected patients. Analysis of factors associated to survival will be available soon

20. FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SURVIVAL AND FIRST HEPATIC DECOMPENSATION IN A LARGE PROSPECTIVE COHORT OF HIV-HCV CO-INFECTED PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS.

Poster Presentation at CROI2008 [1057]

21. clinicaloptions.com/hiv METHODS Prospective multicenter cohort of 331 HIV-HCV coinfected patients with cirrhosis. Median follow-up time: 18 months. Cirrhosis diagnosis (n,%): biopsy (209, 63%), prior decompensation (86, 26%), Bonacini Score 8 (36, 11%). Endpoints: death, hepatocarcinoma or liver transplant. Survival defined as the time from entering in the cohort until first endpoint occurred. The association of survival with different factors was explored in univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. Variables included: age, sex, time since cirrhosis/HIV diagnosis, alcohol intake, CD4 count (nadir, baseline and <100 at baseline), HIV viremia, suppressed HIV replication, history of anti-HCV therapy, HCV genotype, sustained viral response to anti-HCV therapy, concomitant chronic HBV, history of cirrhosis decompensation, Child Pugh score and HAART (at baseline, continuous/interrupted during follow-up). For patients with no history of prior liver decompensation at baseline we explored variables associated with the development of first decompensation.

29. clinicaloptions.com/hiv CONCLUSIONS Child-Pugh scores B and C are significantly associated with decreased survival in HIV-HCV coinfected patients with cirrhosis. Maintaining HIV viral suppression and receiving continuous HAART are associated with prolonged survival. Our study supports the continuous use of HAART in this population. Child-Pugh B is significantly associated with the short-term risk of first hepatic decompensation. HIV-HCV coinfected patients with compensated cirrhosis and a Child-Pugh B score should be followed closely for the development of decompensation.

30. clinicaloptions.com/hiv RESUMEN El estudio GESIDA 37/03 es una de las cohortes más grandes de pacientes infectados por VIH con cirrosis hepática. Hasta el momento esta cohorte nos ha permitido caracterizar mejor la historia natural de la cirrosis hepática en esta población Además hemos podido analizar los factores relacionados con la supervivencia y la primera descompensación. Continuamos el seguimiento activo de esta cohorte (Dra. Marisa Montes)
