BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis is the leading indication for liver transplantation in the United States, although nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is on the rise. Increasingly effective HCV antivirals are available, but their association with diagnosis-specific liver transplantation rates and early graft survival is not known.
METHODS METHODS
The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database records were retrospectively stratified by HCV antiviral era: interferon (2003-2010), protease inhibitors (2011-2013), and direct-acting antivirals (2014 to present). Kaplan-Meier, χ
RESULTS RESULTS
Liver transplants for HCV decreased (35.3% to 23.6%), whereas those for NASH and alcoholic liver disease increased (5.8% to 16.5% and 15.6% to 24.0%) with each advancing era (all
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Increasing effectiveness of HCV antivirals corresponds with decreased rates of liver transplantation for HCV and improved early graft survival. As the rates of liver transplant for NASH continue to increase, focus will be needed on the prevention and effective therapies for this disease.
