Abstract

Objectives: Intravenous drug use (IVDU) is more common inprisoner patients, and this is a global problem. Hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection is higher in prisoners than general population. Inour study, we aimed to examine the IVDU rates and direct-actingantiviral (DAA) treatment results of the prisoners who applied toHatay Mustafa Kemal University Clinic of Infectious Diseases.Materials and Methods: In our study, IVDU rates and HCVtreatment results of 85 prisoners who applied to Hatay MustafaKemal University Faculty of Medicine Clinic of Infectious Diseasesbetween January 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectivelyanalyzed. Treatment results were evaluated by performing modifiedintention to tract (mITT) and per protocol (PP) efficacy analysis,respectively.Results: The rate of IVDU was 37.7% in prisoners who werepositive for HCV. Although sustained virological response (SVR) ratewas 100% in PP analysis, SVR rate was determined as 80.5% inmITT analysis. Viral genotype 3 (41.6%) and genotype 4 (39%) werethe most common.Conclusion: However, data on HCV screening and treatment inprisons in Turkey is inadequate or too low. We think that with theuse of DAAs, patients’ compliance to treatment will increase, it is animportant step for HCV eradication and multicenter studies shouldbe conducted.

Özet

Amaç: Mahkum hastalarda intravenöz ilaç kullanımı (IVDU) sıklığı ve hepatit C virüs (HCV) enfeksiyonu prevelansı küresel olarak genel popülasyona göre daha yüksektir. Bu çalışmada Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniği’ne başvurup sağlık hizmeti alan mahkum hastalardaki IVDU oranlarının ve direkt etkili antiviral (DEA) tedavi sonuçlarının incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda Ocak 2017- Aralık 2019 yılları arasında Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniği’ne başvurup sağlık hizmeti alan toplam 85 mahkum hastanın IVDU oranları ve DEA tedavi sonuçları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Sırasıyla modifiye intention to tract (mITT) ve per protocol (PP) ile etkinlik analizi yapılarak tedavi sonuçları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: HCV pozitif mahkum hastalarda intravenöz ilaç kullanım oranı %37,7 idi. PP analizinde kalıcı virolojik yanıt (KVY) %100 iken mITT analizinde bu oran %80,5 olarak saptandı. En sık viral genotip 3 (%41,6) ve genotip 4 (%39,0) saptandı. Sonuç: Cezaevlerinde HCV taranması ve tedavisi açısından Türkiye’de yeterli veri yok veya çok azdır. DEA’ların kullanılması ile hastaların tedaviye uyumunun artacağını, HCV eradikasyonu için önemli bir adım olduğunu ve çok merkezli çalışmalar yapılması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
