Meta-Analysis of Risk Factors for Development of Liver Cirrhosis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
Journal Title: Global Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) are main reasons for the development of liver cirrhosis (LC) on a worldwide scale. Chronic HBV infection is a main reason for the development of LC in high-risk areas, for example, China and Africa, whereas chronic HCV infection is a main reason in developed countries. In China, the harm of LC is serious, and 30 million of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is the major source of LC and the one-year cumulative incidence rate of LC in CHB patients was 2.1% - 6%. The risk factors of the development of LC in CHB patients reported were controversial.
