Background & AimsRecent studies suggested that SVR rates might be lower in HCV patients with insulin resistance (IR) than in patients without IR, but the extent of the impact of IR on treatment response has not been established. We aimed to confirm the role of IR assessed by the homoeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) on SVR and to determine its magnitude.MethodsWe performed meta-analysis of studies evaluating the impact of IR in HCV patients treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin.ResultsFourteen studies involving 2732 patients were included. SVR was less frequent in patients with IR than in patients without IR (mean difference: â19.6%, 95% CI: â29.9% to â9.4%, p <0.001). In sensitivity analyses according to HCV-1 patients, patients with IR also less frequently attained a SVR than patients without IR (mean difference: â13.0%, 95% CI: â22.6% to â3.4%, p = 0.008). In addition, the baseline HOMA-IR index was lower in responders than in non-responders (mean difference: â0.92, 95% CI: â1.53 to â0.32, p <0.001). In sensitivity analyses restricted to HCV-1 patients, the baseline HOMA-IR index remained lower in responders than in non-responders (mean difference: â0.63, 95% CI: â1.13 to â0.14, p <0.001).ConclusionsHCV patients with IR have a 20% lower SVR than patients without IR. The baseline HOMA-IR index is a major determinant of SVR.
