Background • After successful introduction of screening for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in early 90’s, and more recently, also for HCV RNA, several authors reported a dramatic decrease of new acute HCV infections in the US (Hepatology 2000; 31: 777 -82; Hepatology 1997; 26: 62 S-65 S; CDC) • Others published predictions of HCV epidemic trajectories, showing steady decline of the number of infected individuals in the next 30 years (Davis, LT, 2003) • Since ‘ 02 our laboratory has been evaluating HCV serostatus of approx 850 cadaveric organ donors/year. Recently (’ 05) our testing algorithm was supplemented by the sensitive TMA-based NAT assay detecting HCV RNA.
First results
Aim • To evaluate longitudinal trends in HCV prevalence among cadaveric organ donors from southern and northern California.
Specific Questions • Is there a significant change or decrease in HCV sero-prevalence among transplant donors? • What factors are associated with HCV positivity?
Material and Methods • We tested 4, 032 consecutive donors from 3 CA OPOs (2 from N. Cal and 1 from S. Cal) • Testing period: 2002 -2007 – EIA (Ortho), confirmed with RIBA (Chiron) – After 2005 HCV RNA NAT (Procleix, Chiron) • Statistical Methods – Chi-square and logistic regression
%HCV+ Donors in 3 CA OPOs Year P=0. 01 P=NS Increase in OPO 1, trend not significant in OPO 2 & 3
%HCV+ Donors by Donor Age P<0. 001 for both OPOs >80% HCV donors were between age 41 -60
%HCV+ Donors with other Serology P=0. 001 P<0. 001 N=218 N=467 P=0. 048 P=0. 012 N=1169 N=3319
Factors Associated with HCV Factor Reference 2004 -05 2002 -03 2006 -07 Age 41 -60 <40 or >60 Odds Ratio, 95% CI 1. 61, 0. 97 -2. 69 2. 03, 1. 26 -3. 30 1. 77, 1. 20 -2. 61 P 0. 065 0. 004 HBc. Ab+ 9. 06, 6. 17 -13. 3 <0. 001 HBc. Ab- • Prevalence of HCV+ increased • HCV is almost twice as likely in 41 -60 age group • 9 times more likely when HBc. Ab positive
Conclusions • Our data suggest a significant variability from year-to-year of HCV seroprevalance. • There seems to be significant differences of HCV rates among OPOs in California. • Contrary to US-wide trends in HCV’s sero-incident rates, we observed no decrease of HCV sero-prevalence among cadaveric donors in California over past 5 years. • Our results suggest that due to still high numbers of HCV+ cadaveric donors HCV NAT screening is highly desirable to prevent the HCV “window” donations and possible transmissions.
“Take home Message” • HCV+ rates differ among CA OPOs • Rates were highest for age 41 -60 • Rates overall increased in 2006 -2007 – Change in targeted donor population? – More stringent testing (NAT)? – Increased use of non-optimal donors? • Further studies are needed to examine factors associated with outcomes for HCV+ donors
