The role of betel quid chewing in the aetiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was evaluated in a case-control study including 263 pairs of age- and sex-matched HCC patients and healthy controls. Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) were determined, and standardized personal interview conducted using a structured questionnaire. Multivariate analysis indicated that betel quid chewing (odds ratio (OR), 3.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.74-6.96), HBsAg (OR, 16.69; 95% CI, 9.92-28.07), anti-HCV (OR, 38.57; 95% CI, 18.15-81.96), and educational duration of less than 10 years (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.05-2.78) are independent risk factors of HCC. In addition, there was an additive interaction between betel quid chewing and chronic infection with either hepatitis B virus (synergy index, 5.37) or hepatitis C virus (synergy index, 1.66). Moreover, risk on HCC increased as duration of betel quid chewing increased, or amount of betel quid consumed (each P for trend < 0.0001).
在一项病例对照研究中,对嚼槟榔在肝细胞癌(HCC)病因学中的作用进行了评估,该研究纳入了263对年龄和性别匹配的HCC患者及健康对照。检测了血清乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)和丙肝病毒抗体(抗-HCV),并使用结构化问卷进行标准化个人访谈。多因素分析表明,嚼槟榔(比值比(OR)为3.49;95%置信区间(CI)为1.74 - 6.96)、HBsAg(OR为16.69;95% CI为9.92 - 28.07)、抗-HCV(OR为38.57;95% CI为18.15 - 81.96)以及教育年限少于10年(OR为1.71;95% CI为1.05 - 2.78)是HCC的独立危险因素。此外,嚼槟榔与乙肝病毒慢性感染(协同指数为5.37)或丙肝病毒慢性感染(协同指数为1.66)之间存在相加交互作用。而且,HCC风险随着嚼槟榔时间的延长或槟榔消耗量的增加而升高(各趋势P值均<0.0001)。
