BACKGROUND
The relationship between metformin use and the risk of prostate cancer is still inconclusive. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all eligible cohort studies to evaluate a potential association of metformin use with prostate cancer risk.
METHODS
A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed and Web of Science databases through July 2018. A DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to calculate the pooled relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS
Eighteen cohort or nested case-control studies were included in this study with a total of 52,328 cases. In a random-effect pooled analysis, metformin use was not significantly associated with the risk of prostate cancer (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.80-1.16, P = .711). Statistically significant heterogeneity was identified among included studies (P < .001, I = 98.1%). Sensitivity analysis indicated that no single study dominated the pooled RR.
CONCLUSION
The present large meta-analysis of cohort studies did not find an association between metformin use and prostate cancer risk.
背景
二甲双胍的使用与前列腺癌风险之间的关系仍无定论。因此,我们对所有符合条件的队列研究进行了系统评价和荟萃分析,以评估二甲双胍的使用与前列腺癌风险之间的潜在关联。
方法
截至2018年7月,在PubMed和Web of Science数据库中进行了全面的文献检索。采用DerSimonian和Laird随机效应模型计算合并相对风险(RR)及其95%置信区间(CI)。
结果
本研究纳入了18项队列或巢式病例对照研究,共52328例病例。在随机效应合并分析中,二甲双胍的使用与前列腺癌风险无显著关联(RR 0.97,95%CI 0.80-1.16,P = 0.711)。纳入研究之间存在统计学上的显著异质性(P < 0.001,I = 98.1%)。敏感性分析表明,没有单一研究主导合并RR。
结论
目前这项针对队列研究的大型荟萃分析未发现二甲双胍的使用与前列腺癌风险之间存在关联。
