Systematic review and Meta-analysis of effect of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid in treatment of neonatal jaundice / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

To systematically review effectiveness and safety of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid in the treatment of neonatal jaundice. A systematic retrieval was performed throughout China National Knowledge Infrastructure( CNKI),Wan Fang,VIP,Sino Med and PubMed,Medline,Cochrane Library databases from the establishment to April 2019. Randomized controlled trials of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid in treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were retrieved. Clinical studies in line with the inclusion criteria were involved for data extraction,and the quality of the included literatures was evaluated by the risk bias assessment tool in the Cochrane review manual. Finally,Meta-analysis was performed by Rev Man 5.3 software. A total of 30 studies were involved,involving 3 923 child patients,including1 940 in observation group and 1 983 in control group. According to the results of Meta-analysis,the total effective rate( RR = 1. 22,95%CI[1. 18,1. 26],P<0. 000 01),level of TBi L after treatment( MD =-38. 78,95%CI[-48. 38,-29. 18],P<0. 000 01),time to jaundice resolution( MD =-1. 76,95% CI[-2. 10,-1. 41],P < 0. 000 01) and daily average decrease value of bilirubin( MD =11. 67,95%CI[8. 89,14. 45],P<0. 000 01) of observation group were significantly better than those of control group,with statistically significant differences. Adverse reactions were reported in nine studies,mainly including diarrhea,vomiting,fever,rash and other symptoms,which did not affect the treatment effect. The effectiveness of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid combined with conventional therapy in treating neonatal jaundice was better than conventional therapy alone,with little adverse reactions. However,most of literatures included had a low research quality,which impacted the reliability of the conclusion. Therefore,it is suggested to conduct more largesample-size,multicenter,scientifically designed,strictly implemented high-quality randomized controlled trials in the future,in order to study the efficacy and safety of Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid in the treatment of neonatal jaundice.
