INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Previous studies have shown inconsistent data on the relationship between statin use and polyneuropathy (PN). The current systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted to comprehensively investigate the risk of incident PN among statin-users compared with non-users by identifying all available studies and summarizing their results.
A systematic review was conducted from MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to October 31, 2020. We included cohort and case-control studies that compared the risk of incident PN between statin-users and non-users. Point estimates and standard errors from eligible studies were pooled together using the generic inverse variance method.
Of 4968 retrieved articles, 6 studies in non-diabetic populations and 2 studies in diabetic populations fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Two meta-analyses were performed. The pooled analyses did not find a statistically significant association between the use of statins and risk of incident PN with the pooled odds ratio of 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88-1.76; I 74%) and 0.82 (95% CI, 0.56-1.21; I 80%) in non-diabetic and diabetic groups respectively.
No significant association between the use of statins and the risk of PN was observed in this systematic review and these two meta-analyses. However, there was a high degree of heterogeneity of the meta-analyses.
简介/目的:先前的研究表明,他汀类药物使用与多发性神经病(PN)之间的关系数据不一致。本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在通过确定所有可用的研究并总结其结果,全面调查与非使用者相比,他汀类药物使用者发生 PN 的风险。
从 MEDLINE 和 EMBASE 数据库进行了系统检索,检索时间从建库至 2020 年 10 月 31 日。我们纳入了比较他汀类药物使用者和非使用者发生 PN 风险的队列研究和病例对照研究。使用通用倒数方差法汇总合格研究的点估计值和标准误差。
在检索到的 4968 篇文章中,有 6 项非糖尿病人群的研究和 2 项糖尿病人群的研究符合纳入标准。进行了两项荟萃分析。汇总分析未发现他汀类药物使用与 PN 发生风险之间存在统计学显著关联,汇总比值比分别为 1.24(95%置信区间 [CI],0.88-1.76;I 74%)和 0.82(95% CI,0.56-1.21;I 80%),分别在非糖尿病组和糖尿病组。
本系统评价和这两项荟萃分析均未观察到他汀类药物使用与 PN 风险之间存在显著关联。然而,荟萃分析存在高度异质性。
