The evidence suggests that L-carnitine may reduce mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis. However, the conclusions of different studies are inconsistent. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine compliance on mortality in patients with sepsis.
A search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted on 1 June 2024. The risk ratio (RR) was pooled with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for dichotomous data. The publications were subjected to a review in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Cochrane Handbook and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This study has been registered with INPLASY (number INPLASY202460086).
A total of 356 patients were included in four randomized controlled trials. The results indicated that L-carnitine supplementation was not associated with 28-day mortality in sepsis patients (RR: 0.65; 95% CI 0.33-1.28; I = 70%; P = 0.21). And there was no significant effect on 12-month mortality (RR: 0.72; 95% CI 0.47-1.11; I = 0%; P = 0.14) compared to placebo.
The use of L-carnitine was not found to be significantly correlated with 28-day or 12-month mortality in patients with sepsis.
有证据表明左旋肉碱可降低脓毒症重症患者的死亡率。然而,不同研究的结论并不一致。因此,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以评估左旋肉碱给药对脓毒症患者死亡率的影响。
我们于 2024 年 6 月 1 日检索了 PubMed、Embase 和 Cochrane Library 数据库。使用二项分类数据汇总风险比(RR)及其 95%置信区间(CI)。按照 Cochrane 手册和系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)的指南对出版物进行了审查。本研究已在 INPLASY(编号 INPLASY202460086)注册。
共有四项随机对照试验纳入了 356 名患者。结果表明,脓毒症患者补充左旋肉碱与 28 天死亡率无关(RR:0.65;95%CI 0.33-1.28;I²=70%;P=0.21)。与安慰剂相比,12 个月死亡率也没有显著影响(RR:0.72;95%CI 0.47-1.11;I²=0%;P=0.14)。
与安慰剂相比,使用左旋肉碱并未显著降低脓毒症患者的 28 天或 12 个月死亡率。
