Background: Coronary heart disease combined with depression is 1 of the 2 major diseases affecting physical and mental health. It has become a hot spot at the intersection of psychiatry and internal medicine. Most doctors call double heart medicine, which has a high incidence rate and a low diagnostic rate. Clinical research shows that Shugan Jieyu Decoction (SJD) has a better curative effect, increased safety, and fewer adverse reactions, but it lacks systematic evaluation. This study aims to integrate clinical data through network meta-analysis and provide more evidence-based medical evidence for clinical medication.
Methods: We searched 8 electronic databases: China knowledge network database, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, WebofScience, Cochrane Library, and selected 22 randomized controlled trials from January 2012 to January 2022. The common primary endpoint was the relief of angina pectoris and the improvement of depression. Two researchers used Endnote9.1 software to conduct literature screening and information extraction according to the developed nano-passage standard, used Cochrane collaborative tool to evaluate the bias risk in the experiment, and then used RevMan5.3 software to assess the literature and data analysis synthesis.
Results: In 1908 patients with coronary heart disease and depression, the total effective rate of SJD in the treatment of angina pectoris was 3.49 (95% confidence interval, 1.93-6.29), as well as the network meta-analysis of improving depressive symptoms, anxiety, depression scores (SAS, SDS) and quality of life scores (HAMD), and reducing the indicators related to CPR and homocysteine.
Conclusion: The analysis of this study shows that SJD can reduce the frequency of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease and depression, alleviate anxiety and depression, provide a reference basis for clinical treatment, and select more effective intervention therapy.
