To investigate the main current etiologies of cirrhosis in Mexico.
We performed a cross-sectional retrospective multicenter study that included eight hospitals in different areas of Mexico. These hospitals provide health care to people of diverse social classes. The inclusion criteria were a histological, clinical, biochemical, endoscopic, or imaging diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. Data were obtained during a 5-year period (January 2012-December 2017).
A total of 1210 patients were included. The mean age was 62.5 years (SD = 12.1), and the percentages of men and women were similar (52.0% 48.0%). The most frequent causes of liver cirrhosis were hepatitis C virus (HCV) (36.2%), alcoholic liver disease (ALD) (31.2%), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (23.2%), and the least frequent were hepatitis B virus (1.1%), autoimmune disorders (7.3%), and other conditions (1.0%).
HCV and ALD are the most frequent causes of cirrhosis in Mexico. However, we note that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as an etiology of cirrhosis increased by 100% compared with the rate noted previously. We conclude that NAFLD will soon become one of the most frequent etiologies of liver cirrhosis in Mexico.
调查墨西哥目前肝硬化的主要病因。
我们开展了一项横断面回顾性多中心研究,纳入了墨西哥不同地区的八家医院。这些医院为不同社会阶层的人群提供医疗服务。纳入标准为肝硬化的组织学、临床、生化、内镜或影像学诊断。数据收集时间为5年(2012年1月至2017年12月)。
共纳入1210例患者。平均年龄为62.5岁(标准差=12.1),男性和女性的比例相似(52.0%对48.0%)。肝硬化最常见的病因是丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)(36.2%)、酒精性肝病(ALD)(31.2%)和非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(23.2%),最不常见的是乙型肝炎病毒(1.1%)、自身免疫性疾病(7.3%)和其他情况(1.0%)。
HCV和ALD是墨西哥肝硬化最常见的病因。然而,我们注意到,作为肝硬化病因的非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)与之前记录的发生率相比增加了100%。我们得出结论,NAFLD很快将成为墨西哥肝硬化最常见的病因之一。
