Abstract:
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Kudiezi injection in the treatment of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. Four Chinese databases (CNKI, VIP, WanFang, and SinoMed) and three English databases (Cochrane Library, Medline, and ClinicalTrail.gov) were systematically and comprehensively searched from the establishment of each database to March 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the treatment of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease with Kudiezi injection (KDZ) were screened according to the pre-established inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by using the ROB tool developed by the Cochrane Collaboration, and RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. A total of 712 articles were retrieved and finally 38 studies were included. The total sample size was 3 812 cases, 1 945 in the experimental group and 1 867 in the control group. The overall quality of the included studies was generally low. The results of Meta-analysis showed that: KDZ combined with conventional or western medicine was superior to conventional or western medicine alone in the effectiveness and electrocardiogram efficacy of angina pectoris and unstable angina. The descriptive analysis showed that KDZ combined with conventional treatment group was superior to conventional treatment group in agina pectoris associated indicators of angina pectoris and unstable angina. Other outcome measures were easily affected by various factors (such as too large heterogeneity of outcome indicators) and could not be concluded. Adverse reactions included in the study report were all mild adverse reactions and did not affect treatment. Based on the results of this study, it can be seen that Kudiezi injection had a certain effect on the treatment of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease, especially with significant positive effect on the improvement of the curative effect for angina pectoris and the effect of electrocardiogram. No serious adverse reactions occurred. However, due to the limited number of studies included, the generally low quality of the included studies, and the existence of published biases, the quality of the evidence in this study was low, so that caution should be taken to apply this conclusion. The effectiveness and safety of Kudiezi injection in the treatment of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease remained to be confirmed in the future with a well-designed and rigorous multi-center randomized controlled trials with standardized report, large sample, and enough follow-up time.
