Journal Article
Hamill, V., Wong, S., Benselin, J., Krajden, M., Hayes, P. C., Mutimer, D., …Innes, H. (2023). Mortality rates among patients successfully treated for hepatitis C in the era of interferon-free antivirals: population based cohort study. BMJ, 382, Article e074001. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2022-074001

Objectives To quantify mortality rates for patients successfully treated for hepatitis C in the era of interferon-free, direct acting antivirals and compare these rates with those of the general population.

Design Population based cohort study.... Read More about Mortality rates among patients successfully treated for hepatitis C in the era of interferon-free antivirals: population based cohort study.

Delivery of biannual ultrasound surveillance for individuals with cirrhosis and cured hepatitis C in the UK (2023)
Journal Article
Hamill, V., Gelson, W., MacDonald, D., Richardson, P., Ryder, S. D., Aldersley, M., …Innes, H. (2023). Delivery of biannual ultrasound surveillance for individuals with cirrhosis and cured hepatitis C in the UK. Liver International, 43(4), 917-927. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.15528

Background: Previous studies show the uptake of biannual ultrasound (US) surveillance in patients with cirrhosis is suboptimal. Here, our goal was to understand in broader terms how surveillance is being delivered to cirrhosis patients with cured hep...

Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Standard Validated, Genetic, and Novel Biomarkers to Enhance Prognostic Risk-Stratification in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis (2022)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Walker, A. J., Benselin, J., Grove, J. I., Pedergnana, V., Azim Ansari, M., …Guha, I. N. (2022). Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Standard Validated, Genetic, and Novel Biomarkers to Enhance Prognostic Risk-Stratification in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis. Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology, 13(3), Article e00462. https://doi.org/10.14309/ctg.0000000000000462

INTRODUCTION: Risk-stratifying patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis according to medium-term prognosis will inform clinical decision-making. It is unclear which biomarkers/models are optimal for this purpose. We quantified the discriminati...

The rs429358 Locus in Apolipoprotein E Is Associated With Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Nischalke, H. D., Guha, I. N., Weiss, K. H., Irving, W., Gotthardt, D., …Buch, S. (2022). The rs429358 Locus in Apolipoprotein E Is Associated With Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis. Hepatology Communications, 6(5), 1213-1226. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep4.1886

The host genetic background for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is incompletely understood. We aimed to determine if four germline genetic polymorphisms, rs429358 in apolipoprotein E (APOE), rs2642438 in mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component 1 (M...

Performance of models to predict hepatocellular carcinoma risk among UK patients with cirrhosis and cured HCV infection (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Jepsen, P., McDonald, S., Dillon, J., Hamill, V., Yeung, A., …Guha, I. N. (2021). Performance of models to predict hepatocellular carcinoma risk among UK patients with cirrhosis and cured HCV infection. JHEP Reports, 3(6), Article 100384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhepr.2021.100384

Background & Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prediction models can inform clinical decisions about HCC screening provided their predictions are robust. We conducted an external validation of 6 HCC prediction models for UK patients with cirrhosis...

Real world SOF/VEL/VOX retreatment outcomes and viral resistance analysis for HCV patients with prior failure to DAA therapy (2021)
Journal Article
Smith, D. A., Bradshaw, D., Mbisa, J., Manso, C. F., Bibby, D., Singer, J., …Irving, W. L. (2021). Real world SOF/VEL/VOX retreatment outcomes and viral resistance analysis for HCV patients with prior failure to DAA therapy. Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 28(9), 1256-1264. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvh.13549

Sustained viral response (SVR) rates for direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection routinely exceed 95%. However, a small number of patients require retreatment. Sofosbuvir, velpatasvir and voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX)... Read More about Real world SOF/VEL/VOX retreatment outcomes and viral resistance analysis for HCV patients with prior failure to DAA therapy.
