Abstract
Background & aims
Epidemiology of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is lacking in China. We aimed to estimate the period prevalence and depict the clinical features of PSC in China.
Methods
We identified and included PSC cases between 2000 and 2023 from two sources: electronic medical records (EMR) and systematical literature retrieval (SLR). The period prevalence of PSC was estimated by the multiplier method. Rate ratios (RRs) for PSC prevalence in relation to macroeconomic indicators were calculated by the negative binomial regression model.
Results
A total of 1358 PSC cases were retrieved from 299 hospitals (162 from EMR and 1196 from SLR). Males accounted for 55.7 % of the PSC cases and 25.7 % had concomitant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The estimated period prevalence of PSC from 2000 to 2023 was 2.36 (95 % CI: 1.82, 3.34) per 100,000. Males had a numerically higher PSC prevalence than females (2.56, 95 % CI: 1.97, 3.63 vs. 2.14, 95 % CI: 1.65, 3.04 per 100,000). The highest prevalence of PSC was in East China at 4.87 (95 % CI: 3.44, 7.18) per 100,000, followed by North China at 2.94 (95 % CI: 2.33, 3.74) per 100,000, and the lowest in South China at 0.92 (95 % CI: 0.66, 1.30) per 100,000. Regional per capita GDP (RR 1.65, 95 % CI: 1.03, 2.65) and healthcare expenditure (RR 1.94, 95 % CI: 1.13, 3.38) were identified to be associated with PSC prevalence.
Conclusion
Our study showed the estimated PSC prevalence varied within China, but was generally lower than that in Western countries.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Autoimmunity serves as the primary publication for research on various facets of autoimmunity. These include topics such as the mechanism of self-recognition, regulation of autoimmune responses, experimental autoimmune diseases, diagnostic tests for autoantibodies, as well as the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of autoimmune diseases. While the journal covers a wide range of subjects, it emphasizes papers exploring the genetic, molecular biology, and cellular aspects of the field.
The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is a subsidiary journal of the Journal of Autoimmunity. It focuses specifically on translating scientific discoveries in autoimmunity into clinical applications and practical solutions. By highlighting research that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice, the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity aims to advance the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases.
