Popis: INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) expression in the serum with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) related liver fibrosis, severe hepatitis B and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We made a literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang with no language restriction. Pooled data were analyzed and mean difference with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 16 relevant studies were identified. HMGB1 serum levels were higher in severe hepatitis B or ACLF patients than those in CHB patients. Pooled mean differences of HMGB1 in severe hepatitis B and ACLF patients compared with CHB patients were 4.32 (95% CI: 0.34-8.29, Z=2.13, I2=59%, P=0.03) and 15.96 (95% CI: -0.37-32.28, Z=1.92, P=0.06). Four studies showed there was a different HMGB1 expression in mild, moderate and severe CHB patients (P values were
