摘要
背景:在病毒性肝炎流行地区,抗线粒体抗体(AMA)阳性患者是如何演变为原发性胆汁性胆管炎的?在病毒性肝炎流行地区,抗线粒体抗体(AMA)阳性患者如何演变为原发性胆汁性胆管炎(PBC)尚不清楚:设计/方法:一项为期 16 年、以医疗中心为基础的队列研究:我们在病毒性肝炎流行的亚洲国家台湾开展了一项为期 16 年、以医疗中心为基础的队列研究,共纳入 2,095,628 名受试者。AMA阳性受试者是指AMA阳性且碱性磷酸酶(ALP)⩽1.5倍于正常值上限(ULN)的受试者,PBC是指AMA阳性且ALP >1.5 × ULN的受试者:经年龄和性别调整后,AMA 阳性受试者的平均患病率低于 PBC 患者(4.68/105 对 11.61/105,p = 0.0002),但两者的发病率相当(0.99/105 对 1.12/105,p = 0.36)。前者的平均年龄略低(56.59 岁对 58.10 岁,p = 0.06),男女比例较低(2.85:1 对 5.44:1,p p p p 0.01),患病率有所上升,但发病率有所下降。在 423 名 AMA 阳性受试者中,有 77 人(18.2%)发展为 PBC,平均病程为 1.757 年。与 AMA 阳性受试者相比,PBC 患者的慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)并发率相似(2.7% 对 4.3%,P = 0.197),但慢性丙型肝炎(CHC)并发率较低(3.69% 对 15.60%,P 结论:PBC 的发病率高于 AMA 阳性受试者:PBC的发病率高于AMA阳性受试者,PBC患者的男女比例高于AMA阳性受试者,其中18.2%的患者发展为PBC(平均滞后时间:1.757年)。AMA阳性受试者和PBC的患病率呈上升趋势,发病率呈下降趋势。CHB很少见,CHC在PBC患者中的发病率高于普通人群,而CHC在PBC患者中的发病率低于AMA阳性受试者。
Evolutionary relationship between antimitochondrial antibody positivity and primary biliary cholangitis in Taiwan: a 16-year hospital cohort study.
Background: How antimitochondrial antibody (AMA)-positive patients evolve to have primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in viral hepatitis-endemic areas is unknown.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate this evolution in Taiwan.
Design/methods: A 16-year medical center-based cohort study of 2,095,628 subjects was conducted in Taiwan, an Asian country endemic to viral hepatitis. AMA-positive subjects were those with positive AMA with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ⩽1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and PBC was defined as positive AMA with ALP >1.5 × ULN.
Results: AMA-positive subjects had a lower average age- and sex-adjusted prevalence than PBC patients (4.68/105versus 11.61/105, p = 0.0002), but their incidence was comparable (0.99/105versus 1.12/105, p = 0.36). The former group had a borderline significantly lower mean age (56.59 years versus 58.10 years, p = 0.06) and a lower female-to-male ratio (2.85:1 versus 5.44:1, p < 0.0001). Both AMA-positive subjects (prevalence change: 20.0%, p < 0.01; incidence change: -9.2%, p < 0.01) and PBC patients (prevalence change: 14.6%, p < 0.01; incidence change: -4.7%, p< 0.01) prevalence rate increased but the incidence rate decreased. Among the 423 AMA-positive subjects, 77 (18.2%) developed PBC, for a mean duration of 1.757 years. Compared with AMA-positive subjects, PBC patients had similar concurrent chronic hepatitis B (CHB) rates (2.7% versus 4.3%, p = 0.197) but lower chronic hepatitis C (CHC) rates (3.69% versus 15.60%, p < 0.01).
Conclusion: PBC was more prevalent than AMA-positive subjects, and PBC patients had a higher female-to-male ratio than AMA-positive subjects, of whom 18.2% developed PBC (mean lag: 1.757 years). Upward trends in prevalence rates and downward trends in incidence rates were noted for both AMA-positive subjects and PBC. CHB was rare, CHC was more prevalent among PBC patients than the general population, and CHC was less prevalent among PBC than among AMA-positive subjects.
