Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is common among the critically ill. Recently, the Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) vs. Histamine-2 Receptor Blockers for Ulcer Prophylaxis Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (PEPTIC) trial suggested PPIs might increase mortality. We performed an updated meta-analysis to further inform discussion.
We leveraged 2 recent systematic reviews to identify randomized controlled trials directly comparing PPIs and H-2 Receptor Antagonists (H2RAs) for stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill patients and reporting mortality. We extracted mortality data from each study and meta-analyzed them with the PEPTIC trial using a random effects model.
Of 28,559 total patients, 14,436 (50.5%) were allocated to PPI and 14,123 to H2RAs (49.5%). Compared to H2RAs, the pooled relative risk for mortality was 1.05 (95% confidence interval 1.00-1.10) with an estimated risk difference for mortality of 9 additional deaths per 1000 patients exposed to PPI (95% confidence interval 0-18); heterogeneity was low (I = 0%; P = 0.826).
Stress ulcer prophylaxis with PPIs likely increases mortality compared to H2RAs. Whether stress ulcer prophylaxis is beneficial in critical care remains open to further study.
上消化道出血在危重病患者中很常见。最近,质子泵抑制剂(PPIs)与组胺 2 受体阻滞剂用于重症监护病房(PEPTIC)的溃疡预防治疗试验表明,PPIs 可能会增加死亡率。我们进行了一项更新的荟萃分析,以进一步讨论这个问题。
我们利用最近的两项系统评价,确定了直接比较 PPI 和 H2 受体拮抗剂(H2RAs)用于预防危重病患者应激性溃疡的随机对照试验,并报告了死亡率。我们从每项研究中提取死亡率数据,并使用随机效应模型与 PEPTIC 试验进行荟萃分析。
在 28559 名患者中,有 14436 名(50.5%)被分配到 PPI 组,14123 名被分配到 H2RA 组(49.5%)。与 H2RAs 相比,死亡率的合并相对风险为 1.05(95%置信区间 1.00-1.10),估计 PPI 暴露每 1000 名患者增加 9 例死亡的风险差异(95%置信区间 0-18);异质性较低(I = 0%;P = 0.826)。
与 H2RAs 相比,使用 PPI 进行应激性溃疡预防可能会增加死亡率。应激性溃疡预防在重症监护中是否有益仍有待进一步研究。
