Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus.Methods Wanfang database,CNKI,VIP,SinoMed,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase and Web of Science databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of Compound Danshen dripping pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus.The retrieval time is from the establishment of the database to May 2023.Two researchers independently completed literature screening,data collation and risk of bias evaluation.RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results Twenty-four RCTs with a total of 2 546 patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that the treatment of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine was better than that of conventional western medicine in improving the total effective rate of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus[OR=4.93,95%CI(3.49,6.98),P＜0.000 01],plasma adiponectin[MD= 2.79,95%CI(2.30,3.27),P＜0.000 01],reducing fasting blood glucose[SMD=-1.06,95%CI(-1.24,-0.88),P＜0.000 01],postprandial two-hour blood glucose[MD=-1.53,95%CI(-1.71,-1.35),P＜0.000 01],glycosylated hemoglobin[MD=-1.56,95%CI(-2.01,-1.11),P＜0.000 01],homocysteine[MD=-8.47,95%CI(-8.89,-7.97),P＜0.000 01],low density lipoprotein[MD=-0.46,95%CI(-0.69,-0.24),P＜0.000 01],total cholesterol[MD=-0.45,95%CI(-1.11,-0.20),P=0.005],triglycerides[MD=-0.42,95%CI(-0.50,-0.34),P＜0.000 01],interleukin 6[SMD=-1.34,95%CI(-1.61,-1.07),P＜0.000 01],cardiovascular adverse events[OR=0.35,95%CI(0.19,0.64),P=0.000 6],incidence of adverse reactions[OR=0.45,95%CI(0.24,0.86),P=0.01].Conclusion Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease with diabetes mellitus is more effective than conventional western medicine treatment,and with better safety.However,due to the limit of the quality of the included studies and other factors,the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality clinical trials.
