This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human erythropoietin (RHE) for the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury (STBI).
One hundred and twenty eligible patients with STBI were randomly divided into an intervention group or a control group equally. Patients in the intervention group received RHE. The participants in the control group received 0.9% saline. The outcome measurements included the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores, mortality, and any adverse events.
At the end of 10-week follow-up after treatment, RHE neither showed greater efficacy in GOS scores (1-2, P = .43; 3-4, P = .25; 5-6, P = .58; 7-8, P = .23), nor the lower mortality in the intervention group than those in the control group (P = .47). In addition, both groups had similar safety profile.
This study found that RHE did not improve the neurological outcomes in patients with STBI.
本研究旨在探讨重组人促红细胞生成素(RHE)治疗重度创伤性脑损伤(STBI)的疗效和安全性。
120例符合条件的STBI患者被随机均分为干预组和对照组。干预组患者接受RHE治疗。对照组参与者接受0.9%生理盐水治疗。结局指标包括格拉斯哥预后量表(GOS)评分、死亡率和任何不良事件。
治疗后10周随访结束时,RHE在GOS评分方面既未显示出更高的疗效(1 - 2分,P = 0.43;3 - 4分,P = 0.25;5 - 6分,P = 0.58;7 - 8分,P = 0.23),干预组的死亡率也不比对照组低(P = 0.47)。此外,两组的安全性相似。
本研究发现,RHE并未改善STBI患者的神经学结局。
