Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Vitamins are commonly used in the prevention of major cardiovascular disease. However, the efficacy and optimum choice remain controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare and rank the relative efficacy among all available vitamin preparations for cardiovascular disease through a network meta-analysis. METHODS:Eligible studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane library and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials. A random effects model was applied within a frequentist framework. RESULTS:Forty-two articles (45 comparisons, 384,248 participants), including nine vitamin interventions, were identified. Vitamin D had the highest probability of being ranked best in effectiveness (0.84 [0.72, 0.98]) on prevention of cardiovascular events. With regard to reducing death of cardiovascular disease rate, vitamin E was considered better efficacy. CONCLUSIONS:Vitamin B, D and E could reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events to varying degrees. At the same time, the combination of vitamins can not show improvement on the efficacy.
