The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected more than 5 million people globally. Data on the prevalence and degree of COVID-19 associated liver injury among patients with COVID-19 remain limited. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence and degree of liver injury between patients with severe and non-severe COVID-19.
We performed a systematic search of three electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library), from inception to 24 April 2020. We included all adult human studies (>20 subjects) regardless of language, region or publication date or status. We assessed the pooled odds ratio (OR), mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) using the random-effects model.
Among 1543 citations, there were 24 studies (5961 subjects) which fulfilled our inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratio for elevated ALT (OR = 2.5, 95%CI: 1.6-3.7, I = 57%), AST (OR = 3.4, 95%CI: 2.3-5.0, I = 56%), hyperbilirubinemia (OR = 1.7, 95%CI: 1.2-2.5, I = 0%) and hypoalbuminemia (OR = 7.1, 95%CI: 2.1-24.1, I = 71%) were higher subjects in critical COVID-19.
COVID-19 associated liver injury is more common in severe COVID-19 than non-severe COVID-19. Physicians should be aware of possible progression to severe disease in subjects with COVID-19-associated liver injury.
新型冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)已在全球范围内影响超过 500 万人。关于 COVID-19 患者中 COVID-19 相关肝损伤的患病率和严重程度的数据仍然有限。我们进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析,以评估重症和非重症 COVID-19 患者之间肝损伤的患病率和严重程度。
我们对三个电子数据库(PubMed/MEDLINE、EMBASE 和 Cochrane Library)进行了系统检索,检索时间从建库到 2020 年 4 月 24 日。我们纳入了所有成人人类研究(>20 例),无论语言、地区、出版日期或状态如何。我们使用随机效应模型评估汇总优势比(OR)、均数差(MD)和 95%置信区间(95%CI)。
在 1543 条引用中,有 24 项研究(5961 例)符合我们的纳入标准。ALT 升高(OR=2.5,95%CI:1.6-3.7,I²=57%)、AST 升高(OR=3.4,95%CI:2.3-5.0,I²=56%)、高胆红素血症(OR=1.7,95%CI:1.2-2.5,I²=0%)和低白蛋白血症(OR=7.1,95%CI:2.1-24.1,I²=71%)的汇总 OR 更高的患者发生危重症 COVID-19 的可能性更高。
COVID-19 相关肝损伤在重症 COVID-19 中比非重症 COVID-19 更常见。医生应该意识到 COVID-19 相关肝损伤的患者可能会发展为严重疾病。
