ObjectivesTo systematically review the safety of traditional Chinese medicine injection based on clinical centralized monitoring studies that have been carried out and listed so far, to understand basic situation of adverse reactions and explore the risk factors of traditional Chinese medicine injections and to provide evidence for clinical rational use of drugs and optimizing centralized monitoring methods. MethodsCFDA, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, Sinomed, PubMed and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to collect studies on safety monitoring of listed traditional Chinese medicine injections from inception to February, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Excel software. ResultsA total of 14 studies involving 14 varieties of injections, 296 200 cases were included. The highest incidence rate of adverse reactions was found in the XueBiJing injection (2.54%). The related factors of ADR extraction were age, sex, drug combined usage, time from administration, allergic history, administration days, indication, dose and distribution of the tube. ConclusionsThe safety of traditional Chinese medicine injection is generally high. Middle and old age is an important factor in the occurrence of ADR. The incidence of ADR is relatively high in the first 6 days of drug use, and the incidence of ADR is more likely to be caused by irrational use of drugs in clinic, and the history of allergy may be related to the occurrence of ADR. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
