In natural history studies of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, women have a lower risk of disease progression to cirrhosis. Whether gender influences outcomes of HCV in the post-transplant setting is unknown. All patients transplanted for HCV-related liver disease from 2002–2007 at 5 U.S. transplant centers were included. The primary outcome was development of advanced disease, defined as biopsy-proven bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis. Secondary outcomes included death, graft loss, and graft loss with advanced recurrent disease. 1,264 patients were followed for a median of 3.0 years (IQR 1.8–4.7) −304 (24%) were female. The cumulative rate of advanced disease at 3-years was 38% for females and 33% for males (p=0.31) but after adjustment for recipient age, donor age, donor anti-HCV positivity, post-transplant HCV treatment, cytomegalovirus infection and center, female gender was an independent predictor of advanced recurrent disease (HR, 1.31; 95%CI, 1.02–1.70; p=0.04). Among women, older donor age and treated acute rejection were the primary predictors of advanced disease. The unadjusted cumulative 3–year rates of patient and graft survival were numerically lower in females than males, 75% vs. 80% and 74% vs. 78%, and in multivariable analyses, female gender was an independent predictor for death (HR, 1.30; 95%CI, 1.01–1.67; p=0.04) and graft loss (HR, 1.31; 95%CI, 1.02–1.67; p=0.03). Female gender represents an under-recognized risk factor for advanced recurrent HCV disease and graft loss. Further studies are needed to determine whether modification of donor factors, immunosuppression, and post-transplant therapeutics can equalize HCV-specific outcomes in women and men.
