- Impact on mortality of being seropositive for hepatitis C virus antibodies among blood donors in Brazil: A twenty-year study(2019) MENEZES FILHO, Helio Ranes de; BIERRENBACH, Ana Luiza de Souza; CAPUANI, Maria Ligia Damato; MENDRONE JR., Alfredo; BENZAKEN, Adele Schwartz; MACHADO, Soraia Mafra; SAIVISH, Marielena Vogel; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; WITKIN, Steven Sol; MENDES-CORREA, Maria CassiaIntroduction Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem associated with considerable risk of mortality in different regions of the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of HCV infection on all-cause and liver-related mortality, in a large cohort of blood donors in Brazil. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of blood donors from 1994 to 2013, at Fundacao Pro-Sangue-Hemocentro de Sao Paulo (FPS). This cohort included 2,892 and 5,784 HCV antibody seropositive and seronegative donors, respectively. Records from the FPS database and the Mortality Information System (SIM: a national database in Brazil) were linked through a probabilistic record linkage (RL). Mortality outcomes were defined based on ICD-10 (10th International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) codes listed as the cause of death on the death certificate. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated for outcomes using Cox multiple regression models. Results When all causes of death were considered, RL identified 209 deaths (7.2%) among seropositive blood donors and 190 (3.3%) among seronegative blood donors. Donors seropositive for HCV infection had a 2.5 times higher risk of death due to all causes (95% CI: 1.76-2.62; p< 0.001). When only liver-related causes of death were considered, RL identified 73 deaths among seropositive blood donors and only 6 among seronegative blood donors. Donors seropositive for HCV infection had a 23.4 times higher risk of death due to liver related causes (95% CI: 10.2-53.9; p<0.001). Donors seropositive for HCV had a 29.5 (95%CI: 3.9-221.7), 2.8 (95% CI: 1.4-5.5) and a 1.9 (95% CI: 1.2-3.0) times higher risk of death due to hepatocellular carcinoma, infection or trauma, respectively, compared to seronegative donors. Conclusions All-cause and liver-related mortality rate was increased among blood donors seropositive for HCV compared with the mortality rate among seronegative blood donors. Our data confirms HCV as a relevant cause of death in Brazil and also suggest that interventions directed at following patients even after access to specific drug treatment are urgent and necessary.
- Survival analysis over a 20-year period of a Brazilian cohort of blood donors coinfected HIV-HCV(2023) MENEZES FILHO, Helio Ranes de; GRANDI, Giuliano; CARDOSO, Ludimila Paula Vaz; SILVA, Juan Felipe Galvao da; MACHADO, Soraia Mafra; ALMEIDA-NETO, Cesar de; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; MENDES-CORREA, Maria CassiaAmong individuals coinfected with HCV and HIV, studies of mortality from non-hepatic causes have shown inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of HCV and HIV co-infection to mortality from hepatic and non-hepatic causes in Brazil. This retrospective cohort study included blood donors from Funda & ccedil;& atilde;o Pr & oacute;-Sangue de S & atilde;o Paulo (FPS) who were followed from 1994 to 2016 to compare mortality and its causes between HIV-HCV coinfected individuals versus those seronegative for all tested infections. Records from the FPS database and the Mortality Information System were linked through a probabilistic record Relationship (RL). The Hazard Ratio (HR) was estimated using Cox multiple regression models. HCV-HIV coinfected individuals compared to seronegative individuals had a higher risk of death from all causes (HR = 14.54), non-liver neoplasms (HR = 2.55), infections (HR = 10.37) and liver disease (HR = 7.0). In addition, HCV mono-infected individuals compared to seronegative individuals had a higher risk of death from all causes (HR = 2.23), liver cancer (HR = 32.21), liver disease (HR = 14.92), infection (HR = 3.22), and trauma (HR = 1.68). Individuals coinfected with HCV and HIV have increased overall mortality and death due to infections, liver diseases and non-liver neoplasms as compared to those uninfected with HCV and HIV.
conferenceObject Risk of liver and non-liver-related mortality among hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus co-infected persons in a cohort of Brazilian blood donors: a twenty-year study(2020) RANES FILHO, Helio; CAPUANI, Ligia; BIERRENBACH, Ana Luiza; MEDRONI JUNIOR, Alfredo; BENZAKEN, Adele; MACHADO, Soraia; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; WITKIN, Steven; MENDES-CORREA, Maria Cassia- Knowledge of Hepatitis C virus vertical transmission and subsequent pregnancy outcome in virus-positive female blood donors(2022) MENEZES FILHO, Helio Ranes de; MAIA, Ludmila Grego; MACHADO, Soraia Mafra; SILVA, Iasmin Ramos da; ALMEIDA-NETO, Cesar de; SABINO, Ester Cerdeira; WITKIN, Steven S.; MENDES-CORREA, Maria CassiaIntroduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can be vertically transmitted from mother to fetus. We evaluated knowledge about HCV vertical transmission in female blood donors who became pregnant following detection of HCV in their donated blood. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of females seen at a single blood bank in Sao Paulo, Brazil who were diagnosed with HCV infection in their donated blood. HCV-infected donors who subsequently became pregnant were invited to participate through letters or phone calls. Individuals who agreed to participate were interviewed by questionnaire to evaluate their knowledge on HCV vertical transmission. Results: Among 282 HCV-positive female blood donors, 69 reported becoming pregnant after their HCV diagnosis in donated blood. While 24 of these women were successful treated for their infection prior to becoming pregnant, 45 (65.2%) were at risk for vertical HCV transmission either because they had never been treated for HCV, were pregnant before treatment or became pregnant after unsuccessful treatment. Of the 59 women who responded to the question of whether they were informed about the risk of HCV vertical transmission, 58 (98.3%) reported never receiving this information either after obtaining their blood donation results or during their pregnancy. Conclusion: The lack of knowledge of HCV-infected women on the possibility for mother-to-child transmission of this virus highlights the critical need to improve communication about pregnancy-related risks between health professionals and HCV-infected women of childbearing age.
