Hepatitis B and hepatitis C prevalence among people living with HIV/AIDS in China: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There has been little published data on estimates of HBV and/or HCV coinfection in HIV-positive patients in China or an understanding of how this coinfection varies with different factors. Therefore, this study aimed to determine, through a systematic review and meta-analysis, the prevalence of HBV and/or HCV in HIV-positive patients in China and explore variations in prevalence.

Methods

The Medicine, Web of Science, Chinese Web of Knowledge, and Wanfang databases were searched using a search strategy combining key words and related disease-specific subject terms to identify relevant cohort or cross-sectional studies published up to April 2019. Included articles were assessed for quality. Pooled prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated accordi
