Opinion regarding whether Helicobacter pylori infection can promote the occurrence and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is divided. Therefore, we aimed to assess the exact relationship between H pylori infection and NAFLD by integrating all available data.
The articles about H pylori infection and NAFLD were collected by searching the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang. The random-effects model was used for data analysis, followed by subgroup analysis and meta-regression to explore sources of heterogeneity.
Twenty-one articles were included in the study. Pooled analysis showed that H pylori infection indeed promoted NAFLD. Subgroup analysis and regression analysis showed that case-control ratio may be one of the sources of heterogeneity.
H pylori infection is indeed one of the factors that promotes the progression of NAFLD for the Asian population. This provides new approaches for clinical prevention and treatment for NAFLD.
关于幽门螺杆菌感染是否会促进非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)的发生和发展,观点存在分歧。因此,我们旨在通过整合所有可用数据来评估幽门螺杆菌感染与NAFLD之间的确切关系。
通过检索PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Scopus、中国知网和万方数据库,收集有关幽门螺杆菌感染和NAFLD的文章。采用随机效应模型进行数据分析,随后进行亚组分析和Meta回归以探索异质性来源。
该研究纳入了21篇文章。汇总分析表明,幽门螺杆菌感染确实会促进NAFLD的发生。亚组分析和回归分析表明,病例对照比可能是异质性来源之一。
幽门螺杆菌感染确实是亚洲人群中促进NAFLD进展的因素之一。这为NAFLD的临床预防和治疗提供了新的途径。
