Abstract:
Objective To analyze the factors affecting the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in patients with chronic hepatitis B-associated cirrhosis(CHB-Cir)complicated by essential hypertension(EH)and explore the impact of EH on HCC risk in patients with CHB-Cir.Methods This study was conducted among the patients with CHB-Cir with or without EH received antiviral therapy in the Infectious Disease Department,Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January,2017 to January,2024.The cases with insufficient follow-up time or missing data were excluded.The patients were subjected to propensity score matching in a 1:1 ratio to form an EH group and a non-EH group.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the cumulative incidence of HCC between the two groups,and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the risk of HCC and the factors affecting HCC risk.Results A total of 390 CHB-Cir patients(274 male and 116 female patients)were enrolled in this study,including 195 with EH and 195 without EH.In these patients,EH was significantly correlated with the occurrence of HCC(HR=1.69,P=0.002).Multivariate analysis suggested that the male gender(HR=1.73,P=0.005),a family history of liver cancer(HR=2.23,P<0.001),elevated alpha-fetoprotein(HR=2.83,P=0.001),elevated glutathione reductase(HR=1.53,P=0.046),reduced high-density lipoprotein(HR=1.46,P=0.027),and elevated low-density lipoprotein(HR=2.29,P=0.003)were all significantly correlated with HCC occurrence,while elevated triglycerides(HR=0.37,P<0.001)was a protective factor against HCC.In the EH group,treatment with non-RASIs drugs(HR=2.77,P=0.021)and no treatment/diuretic treatment(HR=7.18,P<0.001)were significantly correlated with HCC occurrence.Conclusion Hypertension increases the risk of HCC in patients with CHB-Cir,suggesting the importance of controlling hypertension in these patients.
