Some previous articles reported that antiviral treatment was effective to reduce the colectomy rate in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Kopylov et al recently carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of antiviral therapy on CMV-positive UC. The results showed that patients who received antiviral treatment had a higher risk of 30-d colectomy. We found that in this meta-analysis, some studies were inappropriately included, leading to an unfavorable outcome of anti-CMV therapy in UC patients.
一些先前的文章报道,抗病毒治疗对于降低巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染的溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者的结肠切除率是有效的。科皮洛夫等人最近进行了一项系统评价和荟萃分析,以评估抗病毒治疗对CMV阳性UC的影响。结果显示,接受抗病毒治疗的患者30天结肠切除风险更高。我们发现在这项荟萃分析中,一些研究被不恰当地纳入,导致UC患者抗CMV治疗出现了不良结果。
