Meta-analysis of Effectiveness and Safety of Inhaled Furosemide in the Adjuvant Treatment of Bronchial Asthma / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of inhaled furosemide in the adjuvant treatment of bronchial asthma systematically,and to provide evidenced-base reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Co-chrane library,CJFD,Wanfang database and VIP,randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about routine treatment+inhaled furosemide (trial group)vs. routine treatment(control group)in the treatment of bronchial asthma were collected. After quality evaluation and data extraction according to Cochrane systematic evaluation method 5.1.0,Meta-analysis was performed with Rev Man 5.3 soft-ware. RESULTS:A total of 13 RCTs were included,involving 708 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed thatobvious ef-fective rate [RR=1.53,95%CI(1.28,1.84),P<0.001],total effective rate [RR=1.34,95%CI(1.23,1.45),P<0.001],the inci-dence of laryngeal discomfort [RR=10.79,95%CI(1.47,78.99),P=0.02] and gastrointestinal adverse reaction [RR=10.80,95%CI (1.43,81.53),P=0.02] in trial group were all significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance. There was no sta-tistical significance in the incidence of dry mount [RR=3.71,95%CI(0.81,16.86),P=0.09] and electrolyte disorder [RR=2.38, 95%CI(0.10,56.53),P=0.59] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,the inhaled furosemide has good therapeutic efficacy and safety for bronchial asthma,and the laryngeal discomfort and gastrointestinal reaction should be strengthened.
