Background: For patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related decompensated cirrhosis, poor prognosis was documented due to the development of portal hypertension-related complications and hepatocellular carcinoma. Sofosbuvir-based direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) has revolutionized the treatment landscape of HCV, particularly in this subpopulation. To date, real-world efficacy, tolerability, and safety profiles for Taiwanese HCV-related decompensated cirrhosis treated by DAAs have not been reported.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection is common because the two pathogens share their transmission route. Studies have suggested that coinfection is associated with accelerated hepatic fibrosis, increased hepatic decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma development. Historically, the sustained virological response (SVR) rates for patients undergoing pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)-based therapy are poor owing to advanced liver disease, immune dysfunction, and poor medical adherence.

Interferon (IFN)-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has recently been replaced by IFN-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-based therapy, which has been established as a 1 line therapy with high efficacy and tolerability due to its reasonable safety profile. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) have been a weakness of DAA-based therapy. For example, combination therapy with daclatasvir and asunaprevir (DCV/ASV) is less effective for HCV genotype 1-infected patients with Y93H as a nonstructural protein 5A RAS.
