Anticoagulants have been used as therapeutic or prophylactic agents in COVID-19 and seem to be more beneficial. However, the advantage of oral anticoagulant (OAC) consumption before visit in lowering mortality in COVID-19 patients remains debatable. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of OAC use before visit on mortality using the hazard ratio (HR) to estimate the effect of time-to-event endpoints.
We conducted a literature search in the PubMed and ProQuest databases for any studies comparing groups consuming OAC to no-OAC before visit for mortality in patients with COVID-19. We calculated the overall HRs and their variances across the studies using the random-effects model to obtain pooled estimates.
We included 12 studies which had sample sizes ranging from 70 to 459,402 patients. A meta-analysis comparing OAC therapy and non-OAC consumption in COVID-19 patients before visit revealed no decrease in all-cause mortality (HR = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.83-1.02, = 0.12; = 68%). However, subgroup analysis of laboratory-confirmed populations revealed that OAC use before visit had a beneficial effect on mortality (HR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.73-0.98, = 0.02; = 56%).
The use of OAC before visit had no beneficial effect on all-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients.
抗凝剂已被用作治疗或预防新冠病毒疾病(COVID-19)的药物,且似乎更有益处。然而,就诊前服用口服抗凝剂(OAC)对降低COVID-19患者死亡率的益处仍存在争议。本荟萃分析旨在使用风险比(HR)评估就诊前使用OAC对死亡率的影响,以估计事件发生时间终点的效应。
我们在PubMed和ProQuest数据库中进行文献检索,查找比较COVID-19患者就诊前服用OAC组与未服用OAC组死亡率的任何研究。我们使用随机效应模型计算各研究的总体HR及其方差,以获得合并估计值。
我们纳入了12项研究,样本量从70至459,402名患者不等。一项对COVID-19患者就诊前OAC治疗与未服用OAC的荟萃分析显示,全因死亡率没有降低(HR = 0.92,95%置信区间[CI]:0.83 - 1.02,P = 0.12;I² = 68%)。然而,实验室确诊人群的亚组分析显示,就诊前使用OAC对死亡率有有益影响(HR = 0.84,95% CI:0.73 - 0.98,P = 0.02;I² = 56%)。
就诊前使用OAC对COVID-19患者的全因死亡率没有有益影响。
