The apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) status has a controversial role in predicting Alzheimer's disease (AD) factors. This meta-analysis assessed AD event risk in patients with APOE ε4 status.
The relevant English-language articles were identified by searching the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and PubMed databases. The prognostic significance of APOE ε4 status in AD patients was examined on the basis of pooled hazard ratios (HRs).
A total of 22 studies published after 1987, including 571,800 patients, were included. Consequently, APOE ε4 status was a risk factor for disease-free survival (DFS, HR = 2.033; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.589-2.602; P = 0.000; I 2 = 93.1%) in patients with AD. Additionally, subgroup analysis suggested that the ROC curve was the main risk factor among patients with AD.
AD patients with different events are managed via different methods; however, the present meta-analysis suggests an increased risk of AD events in patients with different APOE ε4 statuses.
载脂蛋白Eε4(APOEε4)状态在预测阿尔茨海默病(AD)因素方面的作用存在争议。本荟萃分析评估了APOEε4状态患者发生AD事件的风险。
通过检索Cochrane图书馆、EMBASE和PubMed数据库确定相关英文文章。基于合并风险比(HR)研究了APOEε4状态在AD患者中的预后意义。
纳入了1987年后发表的共22项研究,包括571800名患者。因此,APOEε4状态是AD患者无病生存期(DFS,HR = 2.033;95%置信区间[CI] = 1.589 - 2.602;P = 0.000;I2 = 93.1%)的危险因素。此外,亚组分析表明ROC曲线是AD患者中的主要危险因素。
不同事件的AD患者采用不同的管理方法;然而,本荟萃分析表明不同APOEε4状态的患者发生AD事件的风险增加。
