Résumé

OBJECTIVES: Although there may exist a nosocomial risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, this risk has not been fully investigated thus far and its magnitude is unknown. The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, hepatitis C infection in consecutive hospitalized patients with diabetes and to assess the nosocomial risk and magnitude of HCV infection in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Consecutive hospitalized patients with diabetes seen in 11 French hepatogastroenterology and diabetology departments were studied. The prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies was compared with that observed in healthy blood donors and individuals seen during routine medical checkup. Diabetic patients with anti-HCV antibodies were compared with patients without anti-HCV antibodies for assessment of risk factors. RESULTS: In total 1561 patients were studied. Independent risk factors for HCV infection were assessed through multivariate analysis. Thirty-three patients (2.11%) had anti-HCV antibodies and 21 (63.70%) had HCV identified risk factors. The prevalence of HCV infection was higher in patients with diabetes than in blood donors (0.08%) or healthy controls (0.20%) (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified four independent risk factors for HCV infection: blood transfusion before 1991 [odds ratio (OR)=2.88, P=0.033], intravenous drug use (OR=21.37, P=0.012), treatment in a hepatogastroenterology center (OR=4.17, P=0.002) and a high number (>2) of previous admissions since the onset of diabetes (OR=2.52, P=0.039). CONCLUSION: A nosocomial source of HCV infection in hospitalized diabetic patients is suggested by the increased risk of HCV infection associated with the number of hospitalizations. This may account for at least 36% of cases of HCV infection.
