AIM:To investigate optimal timing for therapeutic efficacy of entecavir for acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACLF-HBV) in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients.METHODS:A total of 109 inpatients with ACLF-HBV were recruited from the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Third Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University from October 2007 to October 2010.Entecavir 0.5 mg/d was added to each patient's comprehensive therapeutic regimen.Patients were divided into three groups according to model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score:high (≥ 30,20 males and 4 females,mean age 47.8 ± 13.5 years); intermediate (22-30,49 males and 5 females,45.9 ± 12.4 years); and low (≤22,28 males and 3 females,43.4 ± 9.4 years).Statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 11.0 software.Data with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± SD and comparisons were made with Student's t tests.A value of P ＜ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Viral loads were related exponentially and logarithmic data were used for analysis.RESULTS:For 24 patients with MELD score ≥ 30,treatment lasted 17.2 ± 16.5 d.Scores before and after treatment were significantly different (35.97 ± 4.87 and 40.48 ± 8.17,respectively,t =-2.762,P =0.011); HBV DNA load was reduced (4.882 ± 1.847 copies log10/mL to 3.685 ± 1.436 copies log10/mL); and mortality rate was 95.83％ (23/24).Of 54 patients with scores of 22-30,treatment lasted for 54.0 ± 43.2 d; scores before and after treatment were 25.87 ± 2.33 and 25.82 ± 13.92,respectively (t =-0.030,P =0.976); HBV DNA load decreased from 6.308 ± 1.607 to 3.473 ± 2.097 copies log10/mL; and mortality was 51.85％ (28/54).Of 31 patients with scores ≤ 22,treatment lasted for 66.1 ± 41.9 d; scores before and after treatment were 18.88 ± 2.44 and 12.39 ± 7.80,respectively,(t =4.860,P =0.000);HBV DNA load decreased from 5.841 ± 1.734 to 2.657 ± 1.154 copies log10/mL; and mortality was 3.23％ (1/31).CONCLUSION:For HBeAg-negative patients with ACLF-HBV,when entecavir was added to comprehensive therapy,a MELD score ≥ 30 predicted very poor prognosis due to fatal liver failure.
