Related Factors Research of Hepatitis C Complicated with Thyroid Disease

Objective:To study related factors of hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection complicated with thyroid disease.Methods:The clinical data of 1 996 cases of chronic hepatitis infections diagnosed and treated in the hospital during the period of January 2003 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Gender,emotion,interferon treatment time and thyroid autoantibodies are main influencing factors of HCV infection complicated with thyroid disease.Four factors,female(OR=6.801,95% CI:2.051~22.108),interferon treatment time is long(OR=7.942,95%CI:4.502~31.018),adverse emotions(OR=1.702,95% CI:1.319~2.296)and positive thyroid autoantibodies(OR=9.056,95%CI:1.516~12.071)were closely related to and HCV infection complicated with thyroid disease and were independent risk factors for it.Conclusion:Hepatitis C infection patients' gender,the use of interferon,bad mood,and thyroid autoantibodies positive are the main influence factors inducing thyroid disease.
