  • Efficacy and safety of salmeterol/fluticasone combined with tiotropium versus salmeterol/fluticasone alone for Chinese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a meta-analysis

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of salmeterol/fluticasone combined with tiotropium versus salmeterol/fluticasone alone for Chinese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2017), CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about salmeterol/fluticasone combined with tiotropium vs. salmeterol/fluticasone alone for Chinese COPD patients from inception to April 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 30 RCTs involving 3 121 Chinese patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the salmeterol/fluticasone alone group, the salmeterol/fluticasone plus tiotropium group could significantly improve the levels of FEV1[MD=0.30, 95%CI(0.22, 0.39), P<0.000 01], FVC [MD=0.31, 95%CI (0.23, 0.40), P<0.000 01] and FEV1/FVC [MD=9.07, 95%CI (6.69, 11.44), P<0.000 01]. While there was no significant difference in adverse reaction rates between the two groups [OR=1.17, 95%CI (0.83, 1.66), P=0.37]. Conclusions Current evidence shows that salmeterol/fluticasone plus tiotropium can improve lung function in Chinese patients with COPD. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
