OBJECTIVE：To com pare the efficacy and safety of 5 direct antiviral agents in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection as glecaprevir （GLE）/pibrentasvir（PIB），ledipasvir（LDV）/sofosbuvir（SOF），SOF/velpatasvir（VEL），elbasvir（EBR）/ grazoprevir（GZR）compound preparation and danoprevir （DNV）+ peginterferon combined with ribavirin （P/R）. METHODS ： Retrieved from PubMed ，Embase，Cochrane Library ，Web of Science ，CNKI，VIP，Wanfang database and other databases ，RCTs about 5 direct antiviral agents in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection were collected during the inception to Jun. 2020. After literature screening and data extraction ，the quality of included literatures were evaluated with bias risk evaluation tool recommended by Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 15.0 software. RESULTS ： A total of 48 RCTs with 12 227 patients in trial group were included. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the descending order of sustained virological response （SVR）rate was GLE/PIB ＞LDV/SOF＞SOF/VEL＞EBR/GZR＞DNV+P/R；weighted SVR rates of GLE/PIB，LDV/SOF，SOF/VEL and EBR/GZ were more than 95％. The incidence of any severe adverse event and adverse event in ascending order was EBR/GZR ＜GLE/PIB＜SOF/VEL＜LDV/SOF＜DNV+P/R. The incidence of nausea/vomiting in ascending order was GLE/PIB ＜LDV/SOF＜EBR/GZR＜SOF/VEL＜DNV+P/R. The incidence of rash in ascending order was LDV/SOF ＜ GLE/PIB＜SOF/VEL＜EBR/GZR＜DNV + P/R. The incidence of insomnia from low to high was GLE/PIB ＜EBR/GZR＜SOF/ VEL＜LDV/SOF＜DNV+P/R. CONCLUSIONS ：GLE/PIB，LDV/SOF，SOF/VEL and EBR/GZR have higher and similar effective rates in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C ，especially the weighted SVR rate of GLE/PIB is the best ，and the safety of EBR/GZR and GLE/PIB is relatively better.
