摘要
AIM:To determine the role of diabetes mellitus(DM) and other associated factors in Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients with cirrhosis,compared with those HCC patients without cirrhosis,in the single setting of hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection,after other known concomitant diseases were excluded.METHODS:A total of 482 patients,treated at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital,Ministry of Health(Beijing,China),in the period January 2003 to June 2009,and with a hospital discharge diagnosis of HCC,were included.Demographic,clinical,laboratory,metabolic and instrumental features were analyzed.RESULTS:Of the total,310 patients were diagnosed with HBV infection and,following the inclusion and exclusion criteria,224 were analyzed,including 122 patients(54.5%) with cirrhosis(the case group) and 102 patients without cirrhosis(the control group).Twentyseven patients(12.1%) were diabetic,including 19 in the case group and 8 in the control group(19/122=15.6% vs 8/102=7.8%,P=0.077).Thirty-one possible relevant parameters were compared by univariate analysis,and 9 variables were selected for multivariable analysis,including DM(P=0.077),past history of HBV infection(P=0.005),total bilirubin(P<0.001),albumin level(P<0.001),international normalized ratio(INR)(P<0.001),alanine aminotransferase(P=0.050),platelet(P<0.001),total cholesterol(P= 0.047),and LDL cholesterol(P=0.002) levels.Diabetes showed a statistical difference by multivariable analysis [odds ratio(OR) 4.88,95% confidence interval(CI):1.08-21.99,P=0.039],although no significant difference was found in univariate analysis.In addition,three cirrhosis-related parameters remained statistically different,including INR(OR 117.14,95% CI:4.19-3272.28,P=0.005),albumin(OR 0.89,95% CI:0.80-0.99,P=0.027),and platelet count(OR 0.992,95% CI:0.987-0.999,P=0.002).CONCLUSION:Besides the three cirrhosis-related parameters,DM was found to be the sole independent factor associated with HCC in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis,compared with those without cirrhosis.
