The effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains unclear. We used the National Veterans Affairs HCV Clinical Case Registry to identify patients with confirmed HCV viremia during 1997–2005. We defined HBV co-infection as a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen, HBV DNA, or hepatitis B e antigen. We defined cirrhosis and HCC based on the validated ICD9 codes and determined mortality through the end of 2009. We performed Cox proportional hazard regression analyses to examine the effect of HBV co-infection stratified by HBV DNA status (positive or negative) on the risk of cirrhosis, HCC, and death adjusting for patients’ age, gender, race, HIV infection, alcohol or drug use, Deyo Score, and antiviral treatment. Among 99,548 patients with HCV infection, 1370 patients (1.4%) had HBV co-infection. Of the co-infected patients, 677 (49.4%) patients had at-least 1 HBV DNA test done and 303 patients (44.7%) tested positive for HBV DNA. The incidence rates of cirrhosis, HCC, and death were significantly higher in patients with HBV co-infection and detectable HBV DNA compared to HCV mono-infection (36.8, 6.9, and 41.7 versus 17.4, 3.6, and 31.4 per 1,000 person-years, respectively; p<0.05 for all comparisons). After adjustment for demographic, clinical, and treatment factors, patients with detectable HBV DNA had a significantly higher risk for cirrhosis, (hazard ratio [HR] =1.89 95% CI=1.46–2.45), HCC (HR=2.12, 95%CI=1.26–3.60), and death (HR=1.62, 95%CI=1.33–1.99), respectively, compared to HCV mono-infected patients. There were no differences in the risk of cirrhosis, HCC, or overall mortality between co-infected patients with undetectable HBV DNA and those with HCV mono-infection (HRs=1.18, 95% CI=0.90–1.55; 1.54, 95% CI=0.93–2.56; 1.08, 95% CI=0.88–1.33, respectively). In conclusion, we found that while only a small number of HCV patients were co-infected with HBV, patients with documented HBV viremia were at a significantly higher risk for cirrhosis, HCC, and overall death than HCV mono-infected patients. Absence of HBV replication was associated with a clinical course similar to that of HCV mono-infected patients.
