“COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF ENTECAVIR AND TENOFOVIR ALAFENAMIDE IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS-B ”
Aims:The Aim of study is to compare the efcacy of entecavir with tenofovir alafenamide in treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B patients. Materials and methods: It is a prospective cohort study to compare efcacy of ENTECAVIR and TAF in treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B. Study location was Out Patient Department(OPD), In Patient Department(IPD) and Medical Intensive care unit (MICU) of Dept. of Medicine of DMCH, Laheriasarai. Study duration was 12 months and total 50 individual was in this study. Result: 12% patients of Entecavir and 16% patients of TAF group were presented with HTN; while DM was observed in 4% patients of Entecavir and 8% patients of TAF group. Regarding co-morbidities we found no signicant difference between two groups (p value = >0.05). Hepatitis B virus DNAin the HBeAg positive group was approximately 2 log10 IU/mLhigher than in the HBeAg-negative group. Conclusion: Treatment with antiviral therapy, ETV or TAF, showed potent antiviral activity against HBV and the efcacy of both drugs was comparable.TAF and ETVshowed comparable efcacy and safety in treatment-naïve CHB patients.
