Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) represents a critical and potentially lethal condition that typically develops in individuals with liver cirrhosis. This meta-analysis aimed to assess diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor for SBP in liver cirrhotic patients.
Following PRISMA guidelines, fifteen studies were included, for a total of 76 815 patients. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). We represented the results as risk ratios (RR) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using RevMan software. Additionally, we pooled the hazard ratios (HR) for developing SBP in patients with DM from the included studies.
The meta-analysis shows a significantly increased risk of SBP in cirrhotic patients with DM (HR: 1.26; 95% CI [1.05-1.51], =.01; HR: 1.70; 95% CI [1.32-2.18], <.001).
The study signifies that DM is an independent risk factor for SBP, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive measures in this specific population.
自发性细菌性腹膜炎(SBP)是一种严重且潜在致命的疾病,通常发生在肝硬化患者中。本荟萃分析旨在评估糖尿病(DM)是否为肝硬化患者发生 SBP 的危险因素。
根据 PRISMA 指南,共纳入了 15 项研究,总计 76815 名患者。使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表(NOS)评估偏倚风险。我们使用 RevMan 软件表示结果为风险比(RR)及其相应的 95%置信区间(CI)。此外,我们还汇总了纳入研究中 DM 患者发生 SBP 的风险比(HR)。
荟萃分析显示,糖尿病会显著增加肝硬化患者发生 SBP 的风险(HR:1.26;95%CI [1.05-1.51],.01;HR:1.70;95%CI [1.32-2.18],<.001)。
该研究表明 DM 是 SBP 的一个独立危险因素,强调在这一特定人群中需要采取有针对性的预防措施。
