Abstract
Background: Anti-mitochondrial M2 antibody (AMA-M2) is a specific marker for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and it could be also presented in non-PBC individuals.
Methods: A total of 72173 Chinese health check-up individuals tested AMA-M2, of which non-PBC AMA-M2 positive individuals were performed follow-up. Baseline data of both clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations were collected in all AMA-M2-positive individuals. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was performed to investigate the potential variables for developing PBC.
Results: A total of 2333 individuals were positive with AMA-M2. Eighty-two individuals had a medical history of PBC or fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of PBC at baseline, and 2076 individuals were non-PBC. After a median follow-up of 6.6 years, 0.6% developed PBC, with an accumulative 5-year incidence rate of 0.5%. LASSO regression showed that levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), immunoglobulin M (IgM), eosinophilia proportion (EOS%), gamma globulin percentage, and hemoglobin (HGB) were potential variables for developing PBC. Multivariate Cox regression is used to construct a predictive model based on 7 selected variables, and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve of the prediction model at 3, 5, and 10 years were, respectively, 1.000, 0.875, and 0.917.
Conclusion: This study offers insights into the onset of PBC among individuals who tested positive for AMA-M2 during routine health check-ups.. The prediction model based on ALP, GGT, IgM, EOS%, gamma globulin percentage, HGB, and sex has a certain predictive ability for the occurrence of PBC in this population.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Molecular Hepatology is an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published quarterly in English. Its mission is to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge, trends, and insights into hepatobiliary diseases, fostering an inclusive academic platform for robust debate and discussion among clinical practitioners, translational researchers, and basic scientists. With a multidisciplinary approach, the journal strives to enhance public health, particularly in the resource-limited Asia-Pacific region, which faces significant challenges such as high prevalence of B viral infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, Clinical and Molecular Hepatology prioritizes epidemiological studies of hepatobiliary diseases across diverse regions including East Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southwest Asia, Pacific, Africa, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Central America, and South America.
The journal publishes a wide range of content, including original research papers, meta-analyses, letters to the editor, case reports, reviews, guidelines, editorials, and liver images and pathology, encompassing all facets of hepatology.
