RESUMO

Since numerous studies have stated that there may be a relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and because of the high prevalence of both conditions worldwide, this study investigated the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients infected with H. pylori. Following a systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase, and a search in Google Scholar using MeSH terms such as H. pylori and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the relevant papers up to November 2020 were reviewed. All cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies that examined the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients infected with H. pylori entered this study. A meta-analysis was conducted in STATA 11. This systematic review examined 22 papers with 117 117 participants (33 711 patients infected with H. pylori and 83 406 participants as control) and 20 studies were subjected to meta-analysis The results indicated a 22% to 27% increase in the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients infected with H. pylori (crude odds ratio: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.17-1.33; and adjusted odds ratio: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.09-1.35). According to the subgroup analysis, the study region, sample size, and the method of diagnosing H. pylori were the factors contributing to the high heterogeneity. The meta-analysis revealed the increased risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients infected with H. pylori. This indicates that H. pylori is a serious risk factor in patients susceptible to NAFLD.

RESUMO

Background: The outbreak of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health challenge. Assessing the effect of COVID-19 on liver injury is of great importance. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to establish the characteristics of liver function tests in COVID-19 patients. Methods: A systematic search of publications from December 2019 up to April 2020 in Web of Science, Scopus, and Medline (via PubMed) databases was performed. Both cross-sectional and case series studies reporting an association between liver injury and COVID-19 infection were included. The data were analyzed using the STATA software (version 11.0) and the random-effects model for I2>50% was used to pool the results. Results: In this meta-analysis, 42 articles comprising a total of 6,557 COVID-19 patients were studied. The prevalence of increase in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels was 30% and 21% in non-severe patients and 38% and 48% in severe patients, respectively. Patients with severe COVID-19 infection were 4.22, 4.96, and 4.13 times more likely to have elevated AST, ALT, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, respectively. Conclusion: Elevation in liver function tests was higher in patients with severe than non-severe COVID-19 infection. Given the widespread use of drugs that increases the risk of hepatotoxicity, healthcare providers should be aware of changes in liver enzymes in COVID-19 patients. The inclusion of other studies from outside China could confirm the pattern of elevation in liver function tests in COVID-19 patients across the globe.
