Abstract

Objective To investigate the influence of dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched for articles on the influence of dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs on the risk of HCC published from July 1, 1975 to March 27, 2019. RevMan5. 3 and Stata11. 2 were used for statistical analysis of data. A heterogeneity analysis was performed for the studies included; a random effects model was used in case of significant heterogeneity, and a fixed effects model was used in case of non-significant heterogeneity. Odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to investigate the association of dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs with the development of HCC. Begg funnel plots were used to investigate publication bias. By removing one article each time, the sensitivity analysis was used to assess the quality and reliability of the Meta-analysis. Results A total of 4 articles were included, with 2 studies in the Korean population and 2 in the Chinese population, and there were 3042 patients in total. The meta-analysis showed that there was no significant association between dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs and the development of HCC (OR = 1. 46, 95% CI: 0. 76-2. 80, P = 0. 25) . A country-based subgroup analysis showed significant association between dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs and the development of HCC in the Korean population (OR = 2. 67, 95% CI: 1. 61-4. 43, P = 0. 000 1) , while no significant association was found in the Chinese population (OR = 0. 89, 95% CI: 0. 48-1. 64, P = 0. 70) . Conclusion There is no significant association between dual positivity of HBsAg and anti-HBs and the development of HCC, and further studies are needed in future.
