The relationship between exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV) and atherosclerosis-associated disease morbidity has not been clearly elucidated. We performed a meta-analysis to explore whether exposure to HBV is a risk factor for atherosclerosis-associated diseases.
We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus databases for related studies. We then chose the eligible studies for meta-analysis and assessed quality assessment and risk of bias.
The meta-analysis of the included studies showed that exposure to HBV tends to increase atherosclerosis-associated disease morbidity, but this increase was not statistically significant.
Hepatitis B virus may not be a risk factor for atherosclerosis-associated diseases, but further studies that employ more sensitive clinical parameters are needed to verify this result.
乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)暴露与动脉粥样硬化相关疾病发病率之间的关系尚未明确。我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以探讨 HBV 暴露是否是动脉粥样硬化相关疾病的危险因素。
我们检索了 PubMed、Web of Science、Cochrane 图书馆、Embase 和 Scopus 数据库中的相关研究。然后,我们选择了符合条件的研究进行荟萃分析,并评估了质量评估和偏倚风险。
纳入研究的荟萃分析表明,HBV 暴露倾向于增加动脉粥样硬化相关疾病的发病率,但这种增加没有统计学意义。
乙型肝炎病毒可能不是动脉粥样硬化相关疾病的危险因素,但需要进一步研究采用更敏感的临床参数来验证这一结果。
