Studies reporting the positivity rate for anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAbs) in people with (cases) and without CU (controls) were included.

Between-study heterogeneity was assessed by Cochrane Q and <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> tests, and the odds ratio (OR) for TPOAbs positivity was combined using random-effects models.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Nineteen studies provided information about TPOAbs positivity on 14,351 patients with CU and 12,404 controls. The pooled estimate indicated a more than fivefold increased risk of exhibiting TPOAbs positivity in the group with CU (pooled OR 5.18, 95% CI 3.27, 8.22; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001). Correction for publication bias had a negligible effect on the overall estimate (pooled adjusted OR: 4.42, 95% CI 2.84, 6.87, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
