Implication

Systematic review compares mycophenolate mofetil and azathioprine, showing improved efficacy in autoimmune hepatitis patients. It highlights the need for optimal treatment strategies.

Key Points

Mycophenolate mofetil significantly increases complete biochemical response compared to azathioprine in autoimmune hepatitis patients.
Meta-analysis showed a relative risk of 1.44 for mycophenolate mofetil versus azathioprine, indicating improved outcomes.
Subgroup analysis revealed greater efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil in patients over 50 years and with lower IgG levels.
Further research is necessary to determine the best treatment approaches for diverse patient populations with autoimmune hepatitis.
