Menopause. 2017 Mar;24(3):238-246. doi: 10.1097/GME.0000000000000756.
The objective of the present study was to compare the efficacy of two forms of menopausal hormone therapy in alleviating vasomotor symptoms, insomnia, and irritability in early postmenopausal women during 4 years.
A total of 727 women, aged 42 to 58, within 3 years of their final menstrual period, were randomized to receive oral conjugated estrogens (o-CEE) 0.45 mg (n = 230) or transdermal estradiol (t-E2) 50 μg (n = 225; both with micronized progesterone 200 mg for 12 d each mo), or placebos (PBOs; n = 275). Menopausal symptoms were recorded at screening and at 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months postrandomization. Differences in proportions of women with symptoms at baseline and at each follow-up time point were compared by treatment arm using exact χ tests in an intent-to-treat analysis. Differences in treatment effect by race/ethnicity and body mass index were tested using generalized linear mixed effects modeling.
Moderate to severe hot flashes (from 44% at baseline to 28.3% for PBO, 7.4% for t-E2, and 4.2% for o-CEE) and night sweats (from 35% at baseline to 19% for PBO, 5.3% for t-E2, and 4.7% for o-CEE) were reduced significantly by 6 months in women randomized to either active hormone compared with PBO (P < 0.001 for both symptoms), with no significant differences between the active treatment arms. Insomnia and irritability decreased from baseline to 6 months postrandomization in all groups. There was an intermittent reduction in insomnia in both active treatment arms versus PBO, with o-CEE being more effective than PBO at 36 and 48 months (P = 0.002 and 0.05) and t-E2 being more effective than PBO at 48 months (P = 0.004). Neither hormone treatment significantly affected irritability compared with PBO. Symptom relief for active treatment versus PBO was not significantly modified by body mass index or race/ethnicity.
Recently postmenopausal women had similar and substantial reductions in hot flashes and night sweats with lower-than-conventional doses of oral or transdermal estrogen. These reductions were sustained during 4 years. Insomnia was intermittently reduced compared with PBO for both hormone regimens.
本研究的目的是比较两种形式的绝经激素疗法在4年内缓解绝经后早期女性血管舒缩症状、失眠和易怒症状方面的疗效。
共有727名年龄在42至58岁之间、处于末次月经后3年内的女性被随机分组,分别接受口服结合雌激素(o-CEE)0.45毫克(n = 230)或经皮雌二醇(t-E2)50微克(n = 225;两者均每月加用微粒化孕酮200毫克,共12天),或安慰剂(PBO;n = 275)。在筛查时以及随机分组后6、12、24、36和48个月记录绝经症状。在意向性分析中,使用精确χ检验按治疗组比较基线时和每个随访时间点有症状女性的比例差异。使用广义线性混合效应模型检验种族/族裔和体重指数对治疗效果的差异。
与PBO相比,随机接受任何一种活性激素治疗的女性在6个月时,中度至重度潮热(从基线时的44%降至PBO组的28.3%、t-E2组的7.4%和o-CEE组的4.2%)和盗汗(从基线时的35%降至PBO组的19%、t-E2组的5.3%和o-CEE组的4.7%)显著减少(两种症状的P均<0.001),活性治疗组之间无显著差异。所有组的失眠和易怒症状从基线至随机分组后6个月均有所减轻。与PBO相比,两个活性治疗组的失眠症状均有间歇性减轻,o-CEE在36和48个月时比PBO更有效(P = 0.002和0.05),t-E2在48个月时比PBO更有效(P = 0.004)。与PBO相比,两种激素治疗均未对易怒症状产生显著影响。活性治疗与PBO相比的症状缓解情况未因体重指数或种族/族裔而有显著改变。
绝经后不久的女性使用低于常规剂量的口服或经皮雌激素时,潮热和盗汗症状有相似且显著的减轻。这些减轻在4年内持续存在。与PBO相比,两种激素方案的失眠症状均有间歇性减轻。
