糖皮质激素预防心脏手术后心房颤动的Meta分析

目的系统评价糖皮质激素预防心脏手术后心房颤动的效果及对患者住院时间的影响。方法全面检索、收集已公开发表的有关比较糖皮质激素和安慰剂预防心脏手术后心房颤动发生的随机对照临床研究,对检索到的原始研究按Meta分析的要求进行严格的质量评估,采用RevMan4.2软件对纳入的研究结果行Meta分析。结果 12篇文献符合纳入标准,总样本量为1 330例。其中糖皮质激素组679例,171例术后发生心房颤动,安慰剂组651例,238例术后发生心房颤动。对心房颤动发生及住院时间分别采用固定效应模型（不存在统计学异质性,I2=0%,P〉0.05）和随机效应模型（存在统计学异质性,I2=82.6%,P〈0.01）进行合并分析,发现应用糖皮质激素使术后心房颤动的发生率减少31%相对危险度（RR）=0.69,95%可信区间（95%CI）=0.58~0.81],患者住院时间缩短约1.4天加权均数差（WMD）=-1.36,95%CI=-2.56~-0.16]。亚组分析显示,糖皮质激素中等剂量组比小剂量组、大剂量组更利于预防心房颤动的发生。敏感性分析证实了Meta分析结果的真实稳定性。结论与安慰剂相比较,糖皮质激素可以降低心脏手术后心房颤动的发生率并缩短患者住院时间。
