Abstract:
Objective To comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy,safety and economic benefits of atorvastatin and fluvastatin in regulating dyslipidemia.Methods The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for comparing clinical efficacy of atorvastatin and fluvastatin on regulating dyslipidemia were retrieved from databases,including Cochrane Library,PubMed,Medline,Embase,Wiley,Springer,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP,till June 2016.Data were evaluated by two reviewers independently according to the Jadad standard.The changes of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) before and after treatment were extracted to perform Meta-analysis by using RevMan5.0 software.The economic evaluation was carried out,as well.Results A total of 7 RCTs were included,including 684 cases of patients treated with fluvastatin and 2 208 cases of patients treated with atorvastatin.The patients were spitted into two subgroups according to the same or different maximum dose of atorvastatin and fluvastatin.The results indicated that the effects of atorvastatin on down-regulating LDL-C,TC and TG levels were significantly better than those of fluvastatin,the differences were statistically significant (Z=23.63、23.32、5.50,P＜0.000 01).No significant difference was found in regulating HDL-C level between atorvastatin and fluvastatin.Conclusion Compared with fluvastatin,atorvastatin is more effective to regulate levels of LDL-C,TC and TG,but there is no significant difference in up-regulating HDL-C level.Additionally,application of atorvastatin is more economicallv effective.
