[Systematic review of efficacy and safety of Angong Niuhuang Pills in adjuvant treatment of cerebral hemorrhage].

To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Angong Niuhuang Pills in adjuvant treatment of cerebral hemorrhage. CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trial(RCT) from the time of database establishment to November 2020. Two researchers screened out the literatures and extracted the data according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. A total of 13 RCTs were included, involving 1 196 patients with cerebral hemorrhage, with 599 in the treatment group and 597 in the control group, and all of them were treated with internal medicine. The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional therapy, the combined administration with Angong Niuhuang Pills could improve the effective rate in patients with cerebral hemorrhage(RR=1.25, 95%CI[1.18, 1.34], P<0.000 01), the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score(MD=-5.18, 95%CI[-8.12,-2.23], P=0.000 6) and Glasgow coma scale(GCS) score(MD=1.12, 95%CI[0.46, 1.78], P=0.000 9), activity of daily living(ADL)(MD=15.70, 95%CI[14.05, 17.36 ], P<0.000 01), reduce the malondialdehyde(MDA)(MD=-1.73,95%CI[-2.81,-0.64],P=0.002), but with no statistically significant difference in hematoma volume changes between the two groups. In terms of safety, the combined administration with Angong Niuhuang Pills reduced the incidence of adverse reactions compared with the single administration of conventional therapy(RR=0.40, 95%CI[0.28, 0.57], P<0.000 01), with no serious adverse events. The existing clinical study evidences show that Angong Niuhuang Pills had a good effect in adjuvant treatment of cerebral hemorrhage, and can improve the treatment efficacy, activity of daily living and symptoms of neurological deficits, and reduce oxidative stress, with a higher safety. However, the methodological quality of the included studies is not high, so the above conclusions still need to be verified with more high-quality studies.
