乾燥綜合症與肝臟疾病之間的關聯性已在 1954 年被提出，至今已有不少文獻指出 乾燥症與病毒型肝炎有強烈關聯性，然而探討乾燥症與非病毒型肝炎之文獻相對甚少， 在本研究中，我們將分析國泰醫院及壢新醫院之看診資料，同時以健保資料庫為輔，分 析乾燥症患者與非病毒型肝炎之相關性。進而發現乾燥症患者有較高的機率被診斷出肝 炎（ICD9-CM：573.3）以及慢性肝炎（ICD9-CM：571.40）（P-value: 6.29E-14－2.82E 123），接著我們提出幾個假設因子：溫溼度、性別、年齡、乾燥症類型、藥物使用，以 了解何種因素會提升乾燥症患者罹患非病毒型肝炎之風險，研究結果顯示，溫溼度、性 別以及乾燥症類型並不會影響乾燥症患者罹患非病毒型肝炎之比率（P-value > 0.05）。然 而在年齡上，50 到 70 歲之乾燥症患者較易罹患非病毒型肝炎。在用藥部分，大多數藥 物服用後都會使乾燥症患者比無乾燥症患者更容易罹患非病毒型肝炎，且部分藥物服用 次數越高，肝炎復發次數將隨之提升。;Association between Sjögren′s syndrome (SjS) and liver disease was indicated in 1954. Up to now, many studies have indicated that SjS and viral-hepatitis are correlated. However, association between SjS and non-viral hepatitis was rarely studied. In this study, we used clinical data from Cathay General Hospital and Landseed Hospital and supplemented by NHIRD to analyse the association between SjS and non-viral hepatitis. We found that SjS patients was usually diagnosed with hepatitis (ICD9-Codes: 573.3) and chronic hepatitis (ICD9-Codes: 571.40) (P-value: 6.29E-14 to 2.82E-123). To understand what factors elevated the prevalence of hepatitis in patients with SjS, we supposed the following factors of rising diagnosis: temperature, humidity, gender, age, types of SjS and medicines. The result shows that temperature, humidity, gender and types of SjS do not impact on prevalence of hepatitis in adult patients with SjS (P-value >0.05). However, 50 to 70 year-olds’ patients have higher prevalence of hepatitis. Most of medicines elevate the risk of hepatitis, and patients take more medicines, the prevalence of hepatitis are also higher in adult SjS patients.
