Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) triggers inflammatory and thrombotic host responses driving morbidity and mortality. Antiplatelet agents may favorably modulate these pathways; however, their role in non-COVID-19 CAP remains uncertain.
To evaluate the association of antiplatelet agents with mortality in hospitalized patients with non-COVID-19 CAP.
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of adult patients hospitalized for non-COVID-19 CAP exposed to antiplatelet agents (acetylsalicylic acid or P2Y12 inhibitors). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL from inception to August 2023. Our primary outcome was all-cause mortality: meta-analyzed (random-effects models) separately for observational studies and RCTs. For observational studies, we used adjusted mortality estimates.
We included 13 observational studies (123,012 patients; 6 reported adjusted mortality estimates) and 2 RCTs (225 patients; both high risk of bias). In observational studies reporting hazard ratio, antiplatelet agents were associated with lower mortality (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46-0.91; = 85%; 4 studies, 91,430 patients). In studies reporting adjusted odds ratio, antiplatelet agent exposure was associated with reduced odds of mortality (odds ratio, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45-1.00; = 0%; 2 studies, 24,889 patients). Among RCTs, there was a nonsignificant association with mortality (risk ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.20-2.25; = 54%; 2 studies, 225 patients). By the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, the certainty of the evidence was low, primarily due to risk of bias.
In hospitalized patients with non-COVID-19 CAP, antiplatelet agents may be associated with reduced mortality compared with usual care or placebo, but the certainty of evidence is low.
社区获得性肺炎(CAP)引发炎症和血栓形成的宿主反应,导致发病和死亡。抗血小板药物可能对这些途径产生有利调节作用;然而,它们在非COVID-19 CAP中的作用仍不确定。
评估抗血小板药物与非COVID-19 CAP住院患者死亡率之间的关联。
我们对因非COVID-19 CAP住院的成年患者使用抗血小板药物(阿司匹林或P2Y12抑制剂)的观察性研究和随机对照试验(RCT)进行了系统评价和荟萃分析。我们检索了从数据库建立至2023年8月的MEDLINE、Embase和CENTRAL数据库。我们的主要结局是全因死亡率:分别对观察性研究和RCT进行荟萃分析(随机效应模型)。对于观察性研究,我们使用调整后的死亡率估计值。
我们纳入了13项观察性研究(123,012例患者;6项报告了调整后的死亡率估计值)和2项RCT(225例患者;均存在高偏倚风险)。在报告风险比的观察性研究中,抗血小板药物与较低的死亡率相关(风险比,0.65;95%CI,0.46 - 0.91;I² = 85%;4项研究,91,430例患者)。在报告调整后的比值比的研究中,使用抗血小板药物与死亡几率降低相关(比值比,0.67;95%CI,0.45 - 1.00;I² = 0%;2项研究,24,889例患者)。在RCT中,与死亡率的关联不显著(风险比,0.66;95%CI,0.20 - 2.25;I² = 54%;2项研究,225例患者)。根据推荐分级、评估、制定和评价标准,证据的确定性较低,主要是由于存在偏倚风险。
在非COVID-19 CAP住院患者中,与常规治疗或安慰剂相比,抗血小板药物可能与死亡率降低相关,但证据的确定性较低。
