Efficacy and safety of Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure：a meta-analysis / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI， CBM， VIP， Wanfang， PubMed， Embase and the Cochrane Library， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine （trial group） versus chemical medicine （control group） in the treatment of heart failure with coronary heart disease were collected during the inception to August 2022. After literature screening and data extraction， the qualities of included literature were evaluated and rated by using Cochrane manual and GRADE system. Meta-analysis and Egger’s were performed with RevMan 5.3 software， and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software was used for trial sequential analysis. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included， with a total sample of 1 355 patients. The quality grade evidence of GRADE was all low. Meta-analysis showed that cardiac function efficacy [RR＝1.23， 95%CI （1.16，1.30）， P＜0.000 01]， the decrease of brain natriuretic peptide [MD＝－96.06， 95%CI （－116.47， －75.64）， P＜0.000 01] and the increase of left ventricular ejection fraction [MD＝5.32， 95%CI （4.03，6.60）， P＜0.000 01] in trial group were significantly better than control group； there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups [RR＝0.52，95%CI（0.22，1.22），P＝0.13]. The results of sequential analysis showed that the sample size included in this study met the requirements of meta-analysis； the results of Egger’s test showed that the results were robust and publication bias had no significant effect on the results. CONCLUSIONS Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure can further improve the clinical symptoms and related indicators， and no serious adverse reaction is observed.
