Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the major complication related to contrast media administration in patients after coronary angiography (CAG). However, inconsistent results have been published in the literature regarding the effects of pharmacological drugs on CIN prevention. We conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate the relative efficacy of pharmacological interventions for the prevention of CIN. METHODS:We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 2017. We included any randomized controlled trials of eleven pharmacological interventions that reported the prevention of CIN. RESULTS:We identified 3850 records through database searches, of which 107 studies comprising 21,450 participants were finally identified. Compared with intravenous saline, intravenous saline plus pharmacological drugs including statin [relative risk (RR) 0.57; 95% credibility interval (CrI) 0.39 to 0.83], N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (RR 0.84; 95% CrI, 0.71 to 0.98), vitamin and its analogues (RR 0.66; 95% CrI 0.45 to 0.97), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its analogues (RR 0.46; 95% CrI 0.30 to 0.70), prostaglandin analogues (RR 0.37; 95% CrI 0.18 to 0.76), NAC plus sodium bicarbonate (SB) (RR 0.60; 95% CrI 0.39 to 0.90), and statin plus NAC (RR 0.39; 95% CrI 0.21 to 0.70), have helped to reduce the incidence of CIN in patients after CAG. The top four ranked treatments were statin plus NAC, BNP and its analogues, statin, and vitamin and its analogues, respectively. NAC plus intravenous saline was associated with lower incidence of short-term all-cause mortality than intravenous saline alone (RR 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.96; P = 0.03). However, no evidence indicated that any of the pharmacological drugs were associated with a reduced requirement for dialysis and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). CONCLUSIONS:Statin plus NAC plus intravenous saline seems to be the most effective treatment for the prevention of CIN in patients after CAG. NAC plus intravenous saline may have a protective role against short-term all-cause mortality. However, none of these drugs has effectively decreased the requirement for dialysis and MACCE.
