title: Type 1 Diabetic Populations Have an Increased Prevalence of Parietal Cell Antibody: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
abstract: The presence of parietal cell antibody (PCA) in serum is a biomarker of autoimmune gastritis. PCA directly recognizes the H/K ATPase expressed in parietal cells, which is responsible for the active transport of hydrogen ions in exchange for potassium ions to increase the acidity of gastric secretions. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) mainly results from pancreatic β-cell destruction due to cell-type specific autoimmunity. Considering autoimmune factors may be the common characteristics of both PCA positivity and T1DM, it is likely that both disorders may coexist within the same patient. The main objective of this meta-analysis is to provide a reliable evaluation to clarify the association between PCA positivity and T1DM by combining the raw data from all of the relevant studies.Literature databases, including the Medline, Embase, and Web of Science, were systematically queried for studies investigating the association between PCA positivity and T1DM and were published from January 1980 to December 2014. A total of 3,584 T1DM cases and 2,650 non-T1DM controls were included in this meta-analysis, which showed that PCA positivity was more prevalent in patients with T1DM than healthy controls. Publication bias testing found no significant biases and sensitivity analysis demonstrated that our statistics were relatively stable and credible.Our findings suggested that T1DM was associated with an increased risk of PCA positivity compared to control populations.
