RESUMO
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of Lanqin Oral Liquid(LOL)and ribavirin on infantile hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD).Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCT)of LOL and ribavirincombined for treating HFMD were retrieved from EMbase, PubMed, CNKI, CBM and VIP(from establish to Oct 2014), the methodological quality of included literature was evaluated, and data analyses were performed with RevMan 5.2 software.Results Fifteen studies involving 2 016 patients were ultimately identified.The meta-analysis results showed that the effective rate of LOL group was superior to that of the control,OR(95%CI)was 5.80 (3.94, 8.52), and there were significant differences in the antifebrile time, erythra regression time, herpes regression time and oral ulcer regression time between the groups,MD (95%CI): -1.29 (-1.45,-1.13), -1.88 (-2.44,-1.33), -1.57 (-2.36,-0.78), -1.57 (-2.07,-1.08), respectively. Conclusion Based on the present clinical evidence, the meta-analysis results indicate that LOL and ribavirin treating HFMD is effective and safe. However, due to the uneven quality of these included studies, this conclusion need more large sample size and high-quality clinical RCTs to be confirmed.
