Background

There is ongoing controversy around the surrogacy of proteinuria or albuminuria, particularly for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, which remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to assess the surrogacy of changing proteinuria or albuminuria for CV events, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and all-cause mortality.

Methods

CENTRAL, EMBASE, and MEDLINE were searched (from inception to October 2017). All randomized controlled trials in adults that reported change in proteinuria or albuminuria and ≥ 10 CV, ESRD, or all-cause mortality events were included. We calculated treatment effect ratios (TERs), defined as the ratio of the treatment effect on a clinical outcome and the effect on the change in the surrogate outcome. TERs close to 1 indicate greater agreement between the clinical outcome and changing proteinuria or albuminuria.

Results

Thirty-six trials were included in the meta-analysis. We observed inconsistent treatment effects for proteinuria and CV events (20 trials; TER 1.11 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.22]) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 51%, P = 0.005). Treatment effects on proteinuria or albuminuria were also inconsistent with the effects on all-cause mortality (21 trials; TER 1.17 [95% CI, 1.07-1.28]; I2 = 35%, P for heterogeneity = 0.06), although they were similar with the effects on ESRD (23 trials; TER 0.99 [95% CI, 0.88-1.13]; I2 = 9%, P for heterogeneity = 0.337).

Conclusions

Change in proteinuria or albuminuria might be a suitable surrogate outcome for ESRD. However, overall treatment effects on these potential surrogates are inconsistent and overestimate the treatment effects on CV events and all-cause mortality.  相似文献

Background

Elderly (≥ 75 years) patients form a large sub-group of non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) population but are vastly under-represented in trials. Thus, the benefits of an early angiography in the elderly remain unclear. In this systematic review, we compared outcomes of “invasive” and “conservative” strategies of NSTEMI management in elderly patients.

Methods

A comprehensive search of major databases was performed. We included comparative studies of any design that enrolled patients ≥ 75 years, and where outcomes of both strategies of NSTEMI management were available.

Results

Among the included studies (3 randomized and 6 observational), there were 6340 patients in the “invasive” group and 13,358 patients in the “conservative” group. The 12-month mortality rate (odds ration [OR], 0.45; p < 0.00001), the 30-day mortality (OR, 0.50; p = 0.0009), and events of stroke (OR, 0.42; p < 0.00001) were significantly lower in the invasive group. Major bleeding was higher in the invasive cohort (OR, 1.63; p = 0.03). Analysis of randomised studies showed lower reinfarction with invasive approach at 12 months (p = 0.0001). Significant heterogeneity was noted among studies according to study design.

Conclusion

The overall benefit with invasive strategy comes from the data of observational studies that are prone to selection bias. We believe that there is a need for a large randomized study in the elderly patients regarding management of NSTEMI.  相似文献
