Recent evidence indicates that statins have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, leading to several investigations of whether statins have a neuroprotective effect and may benefit patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the potential mechanisms of this class of medications as modifiers of the course of PD in already diagnosed patients is still unclear.
To assess the effectiveness of statins as modifiers of established PD.
Two investigators systematically searched for randomized clinical trials and observational studies comparing PD patients treated with statins versus those treated without statins. The search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science. The outcome of interest was the change in the MDS-UPDRS III (Movement Disorder society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III) and UPDRS III scores from baseline. Statistical analysis was performed using R Studio 4.3.2.
Four studies, totaling 472 patients, were included. The standardized mean difference for the MDS-UPDRS Part III and UPDRS Part III scales between statin and non-statin groups was - 0.13 (95% CI - 0.44 to 0.17; p = 0.39; I = 58%), and there was no statistical significant difference regarding this outcome.
There was no statistical significance for the potential clinical benefit of statins as modifiers of the disease course in PD patients.
最近的证据表明,他汀类药物具有抗炎和抗氧化作用,引发了多项关于他汀类药物是否具有神经保护作用以及是否可能使帕金森病(PD)患者受益的研究。然而,在已确诊的患者中,这类药物作为PD病程调节剂的潜在机制仍不清楚。
评估他汀类药物作为已确诊PD病程调节剂的有效性。
两名研究人员系统检索了比较接受他汀类药物治疗的PD患者与未接受他汀类药物治疗的患者的随机临床试验和观察性研究。检索在PubMed、Embase、Cochrane和Web of Science中进行。感兴趣的结局是MDS-UPDRS III(运动障碍协会统一帕金森病评定量表第三部分)和UPDRS III评分相对于基线的变化。使用R Studio 4.3.2进行统计分析。
纳入了4项研究,共472例患者。他汀类药物组和非他汀类药物组之间,MDS-UPDRS第三部分和UPDRS第三部分量表的标准化平均差异为-0.13(95%CI -0.44至0.17;p = 0.39;I² = 58%),该结局无统计学显著差异。
他汀类药物作为PD患者病程调节剂的潜在临床益处无统计学意义。
