Objective:To explore the influencing factors of BCP region A1762T/G1764A and Pre-C region G1896A mutations in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.Methods:Clinical data of 464 patients with chronic HBV infection admitted to Ningbo No.2 Hospital from October 2010 to August 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. The mutations in the BCP region A1762T/G1764A and the pre-C region G1896A were examined in all patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of these mutations.Results:The mutation rate of A1762T/G1764A and G1896A was 62.1%(288/464)and 32.8%(152/464);and the co-mutation rate of A1762T/G1764A and G1896A was 20.9%(97/464). The mutation rate of A1762T/G1764A and the co-mutation rate of A1762T/G1764A and G1896A in patients with end-stage liver disease were higher than those in patients with chronic hepatitis B( χ2=9.285 and 6.748,both P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that A1762T/G1764A mutation was associated with higher age,serum AST levels,and proportion of genotype C( P<0.05 or <0.01);while G1896A mutation was associated with higher age,proportion of negative HBeAg,and serum GGT levels( P<0.05 or <0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that higher age was an independent influencing factor for A1762T/G1764A mutation( OR=1.035,95% CI 1.017-1.054, P<0.001),while HBeAg status was an independent influencing factor for G1896A mutation( OR=0.171,95% CI 0.112-0.261, P<0.001). Conclusion:Chronic HBV infection patients with higher age is likely to have A1762T/G1764A mutation,while those with negative HBeAg is more likely to have G1896A mutation.
