Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is increasingly observed in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, data on the incidence and prevalence of CAD in cirrhotic patients are heterogeneous, and the association remains uncertain. In this study, we aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to address these issues.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Incidence, prevalence, and factors associated with CAD were pooled using a random-effects model. Risk ratio (RR) and odds ratio (OR), with their 95% confidence interval (CI), were calculated to evaluate differences in CAD incidence and prevalence between patients with and without liver cirrhosis.

Results

Fifty-one studies were included. The pooled incidences of CAD,
