Table 3 Post-transplant HBV recurrence and HCC recurrence.
HBV recurrence | HCC recurrence | ||
---|---|---|---|
Based on HBsAg and/or HBV DNA | Based on HBV DNA only | ||
Patients, n (%)/95% CI* | 7 (3.6)/1.5–7.3% | 1 (0.5)/0–2.8% | 4 (4.8)/1.3–11.9% |
Annual rate | 2.01% | 0.29% | 2.88% |
Time to event after LT [months], median (min, max) | 18.5 (13.1, 34.6) | 34.6 | 17.5 (12.5, 22.2) |
* Based on all 195 patients (HBV recurrence) or 83 patients with HCC as primary indication for LT (HCC recurrence). CI – confidence interval; HBsAg – hepatitis B surface antigen; HBV – hepatitis B virus; HCC – hepatocellular carcinoma; LT – liver transplantation. |
