Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) is a significant threat in terms of food safety. A systematic literature search with the research question "What are the clinical outcomes of foodborne Hepatitis A virus infections?" was conducted. The pooled estimate of the outcomes-mortality, hospitalization, and severity rates, along with a 95% confidence interval (CI), was estimated. After screening, 33 studies were included for the data extraction and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of hospitalization among the HAV-positive patients was estimated to be 32% (95% CI 21-44), with high heterogeneity (I = 98%, p < 0.01). Australia had the highest hospitalization rate, with 82%, followed by Europe (42%). The hospitalization rate showed a significantly increasing trend (beta = 0.015, p=0.002) over the period. The pooled prevalence of mortality among the HAV-positive patients was estimated to be <1%, with low heterogeneity (I = 5%, p = 0.39). A wide range of food products were linked with the HAV outbreaks.
甲型肝炎病毒(HAV)在食品安全方面是一个重大威胁。针对“食源性甲型肝炎病毒感染的临床结果是什么?”这一研究问题进行了系统的文献检索。对结果——死亡率、住院率和严重程度率进行了汇总估计,并给出了95%置信区间(CI)。筛选后,纳入33项研究进行数据提取和荟萃分析。甲型肝炎病毒阳性患者的住院汇总患病率估计为32%(95%CI 21 - 44),异质性较高(I = 98%,p < 0.01)。澳大利亚的住院率最高,为82%,其次是欧洲(42%)。在此期间,住院率呈显著上升趋势(β = 0.015,p = 0.002)。甲型肝炎病毒阳性患者的死亡汇总患病率估计<1%,异质性较低(I = 5%,p = 0.39)。多种食品与甲型肝炎病毒暴发有关。
