Information regarding association between cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and essential hypertension (EH) risk is not consistent across studies. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association in detail.
We comprehensively searched the published literature from the PubMed and Embase databases for any study analyzing the association between CMV and EH risk. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI).
Three studies involving 9657 patients were included in the meta-analysis, and the results showed a significantly increased risk of EH in patients with CMV infection. Overall, 79.3 % of the hypertension patients were CMV-positive, which was significantly higher than the percentage for controls (OR = 1.39, 95 % CI = 0.95-2.05, P = 0.017). There was significant heterogeneity among the studies included (I(2) = 70.5 %). The funnel plot and Egger's test also indicated no publication bias.
The results showed a significant association between CMV and EH, which indicates that CMV infection is a possible cause of EH.
关于巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染与原发性高血压(EH)风险之间关联的信息在各项研究中并不一致。因此,我们进行了一项荟萃分析以详细研究这种关联。
我们全面检索了来自PubMed和Embase数据库的已发表文献,以查找任何分析CMV与EH风险之间关联的研究。采用随机效应模型计算合并比值比(OR)及95%置信区间(CI)。
三项涉及9657例患者的研究纳入了荟萃分析,结果显示CMV感染患者患EH的风险显著增加。总体而言,79.3%的高血压患者CMV呈阳性,这一比例显著高于对照组(OR = 1.39,95%CI = 0.95 - 2.05,P = 0.017)。纳入的研究之间存在显著异质性(I² = 70.5%)。漏斗图和Egger检验也表明不存在发表偏倚。
结果显示CMV与EH之间存在显著关联,这表明CMV感染可能是EH的一个病因。
