Background: Hepatitis C virus infection and interferon treatment have shown to be risk
factors for depression, distressing, psychosocial burden and poor health-related quality of
life.
Aim: To determine the effect of a Sylibin-vitamin E-phoshpolipids complex on work ability
and whether health related factors (anxiety and depression) were associated with work
ability in subjects with chronic hepatitis C treated with Peg-IFN-α and RBV.
Patients and Methods: In this prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blind
clinical trial, 31 subjects (Group A) with chronic hepatitis, received
Pegylated-Interferon-α2b (1.5 mg/kg per week) plus Ribavirin and placebo, while 31 subjects
(Group B) received the same dosage of Pegylated-Interferon-α2b plus Ribavirin plus
association of Silybin 94 mg + vitamin E 90 mg + phospholipids 194 mg in one pill for 12
months. All subjects underwent laboratory exams and questionnaires to evaluate depression
(Beck Depression Inventory - BDI), anxiety (State-trait anxiety inventory - STAI) and work
ability (Work ability Index - WAI).
