BackgroundPegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) therapy is the current standard of care for patients with chronic hepatitis C. Determining precisely the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) and mortality from a single study is rather difficult because of the infrequency of such events. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the rates of SAEs and the mortality of PEG-IFN/RBV therapy in a pooled large sample, and to assess the relationship between SAEs and mortality rates and therapeutic characteristics.MethodsA literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to identify randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of PEG-IFN/RBV therapy. We calculated the crude mortality and SAE rates with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsEighty studies with 153 treatment arms that included 27569 patients were enrolled (14401 patients treated with Peg-IFN alpha-2a/RBV and 13168 with Peg-IFN alpha-2b/RBV). All-cause and treatment-related deaths were observed in 50 (0.18 %; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.13–0.24 %) and sixteen (0.058 %; 95 % CI 0.033–0.094 %) patients, respectively. The crude SAE rate was 7.08 % (95 % CI 6.75–7.41 %). Subgroup analysis revealed higher SAE rates in patients receiving PEG-IFN alpha-2a than in those with PEG-IFN alpha-2b (7.45 vs. 6.74 %), and higher SAE rates with higher doses than with the lower doses in PEG-IFN-2a and 2b (11.94 vs. 6.99 %, 7.10 vs. 5.05 %, respectively), and with extended duration (>48 weeks) than with standard duration (48 weeks) (15.5 vs. 6.67 %) in PEG-IFN alpha-2a.ConclusionThe mortality rate during PEG-IFN/RBV therapy was acceptably low, but the rate of SAEs was not negligible in a treatment for a benign disease, and the rate was affected by treatment regimens.
