Efficacy and Safety of Therapy of Tonifying Kidney and Promoting Blood Circulation Combined with Cyclosporine Plus Androgen for the Treatment of Aplastic Anemia:A Meta-Analysis
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of therapy of tonifying kidney and promoting blood circulation(shortened as Bushen Huoxue method)combined with cyclosporine plus androgen for the treatment of aplastic anemia(AA).Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of Bushen Huoxue method combined with cyclosporine plus androgen(trial group)versus cyclosporine plus androgen alone(control group)for the treatment of AA were retrieved from the major domestic and oversea databases,and then high-quality RCTs that met the inclusion criteria were screened.RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.Results A total of 6 RCTs involving 365 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of AA in the trial group was significantly superior to that of the control group[OR=4.43,95%CI(2.50,7.84);P＜0.000 01].The trial group was superior to the control group on improving the peripheral blood indicators such as hemoglobin(HGB)level[MD=14.85,95%CI(10.66,19.05);P＜0.000 01],white blood cell(WBC)level[MD=0.61,95%CI(0.21,1.01);P=0.003],platelet(PLT)level[MD=16.51,95%CI(9.28,23.75);P＜0.000 01],and did not increase the incidence of adverse reactions such as hirsutism[OR=0.24,95%CI(0.10,0.61);P=0.003],acne[OR=0.30,95%CI(0.13,0.66);P=0.003],and abnormal liver function[OR=0.28,95%CI(0.09,0.83);P=0.02].Conclusion Bushen Huoxue method combined with cyclosporine plus androgen for the treatment of AA is superior to the use of cyclosporine plus androgen alone on enhancing clinical efficacy and improving the peripheral blood indicators,and has certain advantages in reducing the incidence of adverse reactions.
