Low level of hepatitis B viremia is associated with increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in compensated cirrhotic patients.
Background: Whether patients with compensated cirrhosis and low-level viremia (LLV) of hepatitis B should receive antiviral therapy (AVT) is still controversial, and published results are inconsistent.
Aim: To investigate the link between LLV in compensated cirrhosis and prognosis concerning hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), decompensation, and liver-related events.
Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to March 5, 2023. Outcomes of interest were assessed by pooled hazard ratios (HRs). The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023405345).
Results: Six cohort studies representing 3155 patients were included. Compared with patients with undetectable HBV DNA, patients with LLV was associated with increased risk of HCC (HR: 2.06, 95%CI: 1.36-3.13; Q-statistic-P = 0.07, I2 = 51%) regardless of receiving AVT or not (AVT group: HR: 3.14; 95%CI: 1.73-5.69; Q-statistic-P = 0.60, I2 = 0%; un-AVT group: HR: 1.73, 95%CI: 1.09-2.76; Q-statistic-P = 0.11, I2 = 50%). The pooled results showed no statistical association between LLV and decompensation of cirrhosis (HR: 2.06, 95%CI: 0.89-4.76; Q-statistic-P = 0.04, I2 = 69%), and liver-related events (HR: 1.84, 95%CI: 0.92-3.67; Q-statistic-P = 0.03, I2 = 72%), respectively. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation assessment indicated moderate certainty for HCC, very low certainty for decompensation of cirrhosis and liver-related clinical events.
Conclusion: LLV in compensated cirrhotic patients is associated with increased risk of HCC, higher tendency for hepatic decompensation and liver-related events. Closer screening of HCC should be conducted in this population.
