Summary
Background
Diabetes increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the time-relationship between hepatitis B virus and diabetes for the development of HCC remains unclear.
Aim
To explore the risk of HCC in chronic hepatitis B patients with newly diagnosed diabetes.
Methods
We conducted a nationwide cohort study by using Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database, which covers over 99% of entire population. Among randomly sampled one million enrollees, 14 523 chronic hepatitis B patients were diagnosed in years 1997–2009. We defined new onset diabetes as patients who were given the diagnosis in the years 1999–2009, but not in 1997–1998. The cohorts of chronic hepatitis B with new onset diabetes (n = 2099) and 1:1 ratio age-, gender- and inception point (onset date of diabetes)- matched nondiabetes (n = 2080) were followed up from the inception point until development of HCC, withdrawal from insurance or December 2009.
Results
After adjustment for competing mortality, patients with new onset diabetes had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of HCC [relative risk = 1.628, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.114–2.378, modified log-rank test, P = 0.012] as compared to nondiabetes patients. After adjustment for age, gender, hyperlipidaemia, chronic hepatitis B treatment, statins therapy, cirrhosis, comorbidity index and obesity, diabetes was still an independent predictor for HCC (hazard ratio = 1.798, 95% CI = 1.194–2.707, P = 0.005).
Conclusion
Chronic hepatitis B patients with newly diagnosed diabetes have an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma over time.
