Scientific evidence is lacking regarding the risk of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) for COVID-19, and how these risks are affected by age, gender and race.
We performed a case-control study of electronic health records of 62.2 million patients (age >18 years) in the US up to October 1st, 2020, including 1,034,270 patients with CLD, 16,530 with COVID-19, and 820 with both COVID-19 and CLD. We assessed the risk, disparities, and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with six major CLDs.
Patients with a recent medical encounter for CLD were at significantly increased risk for COVID-19 compared with patients without CLD, with the strongest effect in patients with chronic non-alcoholic liver disease [adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=13.11, 95% CI: 12.49-13.76, < 0.001] and non-alcoholic cirrhosis (AOR=11.53, 95% CI: 10.69-12.43, < 0.001), followed by chronic hepatitis C (AOR=8.93, 95% CI:8.25-9.66, < 0.001), alcoholic liver damage (AOR=7.05, 95% CI:6.30-7.88, < 0.001), alcoholic liver cirrhosis (AOR=7.00, 95% CI:6.15-7.97, < 0.001) and chronic hepatitis B (AOR=4.37, 95% CI:3.35-5.69, < 0.001). African Americans with CLD were twice more likely to develop COVID-19 than Caucasians. Patients with COVID-19 and a recent encounter for CLD had a death rate of 10.3% (vs. 5.5% among COVID-19 patients without CLD, < 0.001) and a hospitalization rate of 41.0% (vs. 23.9% among COVID-19 patients without CLD, < 0.001).
Patients with CLD, especially African Americans, were at increased risk for COVID-19, highlighting the need to protect these patients from exposure to virus infection.

关于慢性肝病(CLD)患者感染新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的风险,以及年龄、性别和种族如何影响这些风险,目前缺乏科学证据。
我们对截至2020年10月1日美国6220万年龄大于18岁患者的电子健康记录进行了一项病例对照研究,其中包括1034270例CLD患者、16530例COVID-19患者以及820例同时患有COVID-19和CLD的患者。我们评估了6种主要CLD患者中COVID-19的风险、差异及转归情况。
与无CLD的患者相比,近期有CLD就诊史的患者感染COVID-19的风险显著增加,在慢性非酒精性肝病患者中影响最为显著[调整优势比(AOR)=13.11,95%置信区间(CI):12.49-13.76,P<0.001]和非酒精性肝硬化患者(AOR=11.53,95%CI:10.69-12.43,P<0.001),其次是慢性丙型肝炎(AOR=8.93,95%CI:8.25-9.66,P<0.001)、酒精性肝损伤(AOR=7.05,95%CI:6.30-7.88,P<0.001)、酒精性肝硬化(AOR=7.00,95%CI:6.15-7.97,P<0.001)和慢性乙型肝炎(AOR=4.37,95%CI:3.35-5.69,P<0.001)。患有CLD的非裔美国人感染COVID-19的可能性是白种人的两倍。近期有CLD就诊史的COVID-19患者死亡率为10.3%(无CLD的COVID-19患者为5.5%,P<0.001),住院率为41.0%(无CLD的COVID-19患者为23.9%,P<0.001)。
CLD患者,尤其是非裔美国人,感染COVID-19的风险增加,这凸显了保护这些患者免受病毒感染的必要性。
