摘要: 目的 探讨免疫吸附疗法应用于扩张型心肌病(DCM)患者的有效性和安全性。方法 本研究在国内首次报道免疫吸附疗法成功应用于1例DCM患者,并通过荟萃分析系统性评价免疫吸附疗法在DCM患者中的有效性与安全性。荟萃分析中,我们检索PubMed、Embase、Web of Science-MEDLINE、Cochrane Library、CENTRAL和ClinicalTrials.gov等数据库,查找2000年1月1日—2021年11月26日以英文发表的免疫吸附疗法治疗DCM的临床研究。应用Stata MP Version 15.0和GraphPad Prism Version 7.0软件进行荟萃分析和统计分析。结果 该例DCM患者接受单疗程的免疫吸附治疗后,在18个月随访期间,N末端脑钠肽原下降,左室射血分数增加以及左室舒张末期内径减低。荟萃分析最终纳入11篇文献,包括313例DCM患者,其中免疫吸附组167例,对照组146例,平均随访时间为3~30个月。与对照组相比,免疫吸附组DCM患者NYHA心功能分级得到明显改善(P < 0.000 1),伴左室射血分数升高(WMD=6.70,95%CI:5.28~8.12)和左室舒张末期内径减低(WMD=-3.65,95%CI:-4.12~-3.19)。免疫吸附组患者未见感染、大出血、肾功能恶化等严重并发症的报道。结论 免疫吸附疗法可明显改善DCM患者的心功能和逆转心脏重构。Abstract: Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption (IA) therapy for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods For the first in China, we successfully treated one DCM patient with IA therapy. We performed a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of IA therapy in patients with DCM. We searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science-MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov for clinical trials of IA therapy in DCM patients, which published in English from January 1st, 2000 to November 26th, 2021. Data were analyzed using Stata MP 15.0 and GraphPad Prism 7.0.Results After receiving one course of IA therapy, the DCM patient showed decreased N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during the 18 months of follow-up. 11 trials with a total of 313 DCM patients were included in the meta-analysis (n=167 in the IA group and n=146 in the control group). The mean follow-up time ranged from 3 to 30 months. Compared with the control group, DCM patients of the IA group showed improvements in the NYHA functional classification (P < 0.000 1), LVEF (WMD = 6.70, 95%CI: 5.28~8.12) and LVEDD (WMD = -3.65, 95%CI: -4.12~-3.19). In the IA group, no major complications such as infection, major bleeding or worsening of renal function were reported.Conclusion IA therapy significantly improve cardiac function and reverse cardiac remodeling in DCM patients.
