    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND AIM: Many studies reported the prevalence of extrahepatic conditions (EHC) of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), but the great heterogeneity existed across different studies. Therefore, we conducted the systematic review and meta-analyses to determine EHC prevalence and association with PBC. METHODS: We searched PUBMED and included observational, cross-sectional and case-controlled studies. A random or fixed effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence and odd ratio (OR) as appropriate. RESULTS: Of 5370 identified publications, 129 publications with 133 studies met the inclusion criteria. Sjögren's syndrome had the highest prevalence (21.4 % vs. 3 % in non-PBC individuals), followed by Raynaud's syndrome (12.3 % vs. 1 %), rheumatoid arthritis-like arthritis (5 % vs. 3 %), systemic sclerosis (3.7 % vs. 0 %) and systemic lupus erythematosus (2 % vs. 0 %). The prevalence of overall thyroid diseases (11.3 %), autoimmune thyroid diseases (9.9 %), osteoporosis (21.1 %), celiac disease (1 %) and chronic bronchitis (4.6 %) was also increased among PBC patients. CONCLUSION: This is the first exhaustive study on the old theme about EHC of PBC. Given increased prevalence of many EHCs in PBC patients, promptly recognizing these EHCs are of great importance for timely and precise diagnosis of PBC.
