Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-Interleukin-5 therapy in patients with asthma. Methods: Data were collected from PubMed, E-Mbase, Springer, Ovid, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, CNKI and Wanfang database (-Feb 2017). Bibliographies of the retrieved articles were checked and analyzed. Results: Twenty publications involving a total of 6 406 patients were used in the analysis, including 23 randomly controlled trials (RCTs) which compared anti-interleukin 5 monoclonal antibody with placebo. Pooled analyses showed that anti-interleukin 5 monoclonal antibody significantly reduced exacerbation risk [RR=0.66, 95%CI(0.59, 0.73)], increased FEV(1)[MD=0.10, 95%CI(0.07, 0.13)] and FEV(1)% predicted [MD=3.90, 95%CI(1.86, 5.95)], and improved the scores on the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) [MD=0.24, 95%CI(0.16, 0.32)]. Anti-interleukin 5 monoclonal antibody was also associated with significantly decreased risk of adverse events than placebo[OR=0.71, 95%CI(0.58, 0.87)]. Conclusion: Anti-interleukin 5 monoclonal antibody reduces the risk of exacerbations and improves quality of life in patients with asthma, and is tolerated well.

目的: 系统评价抗IL-5抗体治疗支气管哮喘(哮喘)患者的疗效及安全性。 方法: 根据特定中英文检索词检索PubMed、EMbase、Springer、Ovid、Cochrane Library、ClinicalTrials.gov和CNKI、万方数据库的所有相关临床随机对照研究(RCT),检索时间截至2017年2月。同时检索纳入文献的参考文献,并逐个进行质量评价和资料提取。采用RevMan5.3软件进行统计学分析。 结果: 共纳入20篇文献,23个RCT,共计6 406例患者。荟萃分析结果显示,抗IL-5抗体可明显降低哮喘急性加重的发生率[RR=0.66,95%CI(0.59,0.73)],改善患者FEV(1)[MD=0.10,95%CI(0.07,0.13)]、FEV(1)占预计值% [MD=3.90,95%CI(1.86,5.95)]和哮喘生命质量问卷(AQLQ)评分[MD=0.24,95%CI(0.16,0.32)],且降低了不良事件的发生风险[OR=0.71,95%CI(0.58,0.87)]。 结论: 抗IL-5抗体可降低哮喘患者急性加重的发生率,并改善患者肺功能及生命质量,且具有较好的耐受性。.
