Effects of parenteral glutamine in critically ill surgical patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract:

Introduction:Introduction: glutamine (GLN), the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the plasma, tends to be rapidly depleted in cells in situations of metabolic stress. Some studies have demonstrated the benefits of GLN supplementation on mortality, infection, and length of hospital stay. The objective of this review was to analyze whether parenteral supplementation with GLN has any relevant effect in critically ill surgical patients. Methods: based on a systematic database search, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published since 1985 were included if they had evaluated the effect of parenteral GLN supplementation in critical surgical patients. The statistical analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software. Results: seven RCTs were eligible for the meta-analysis. Parenteral glutamine supplementation was associated with a non-significant 24 % reduction in mortality (RR = 0.76; 95 % CI: 0.50-1.15). Infections were significantly reduced (RR = 0.60; 95 % CI: 0.45-0.80), and length of hospital stay was 4.09 days shorter (95 % CI: -6.71 to -1.46). Conclusion: parenteral GLN usage in critical surgical patients seems to decrease infection and length of hospital stay, but we could not demonstrate a significant reduction in mortality. Introducción:Introducción: la glutamina (GLN), el aminoácido no esencial más abundante en el plasma, tiende a agotarse rápidamente en las células en situaciones de estrés metabólico. Algunos estudios han demostrado beneficios de la suplementación con GLN en términos de reducción de la mortalidad, las infecciones y la duración de la hospitalización. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar si la suplementación parenteral de GLN tiene algún efecto relevante para los pacientes quirúrgicos en estado crítico. Métodos: basado en una búsqueda sistemática de bases de datos, se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (ECA) publicados desde 1985 si estos habían evaluado el efecto de la suplementación parenteral de GLN en pacientes quirúrgicos críticos. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando el software RevMan 5.3. Resultados: siete ECA fueron elegibles para el metaanálisis. La suplementación parenteral de glutamina se asoció a una reducción no significativa del 24 % en la mortalidad (RR = 0,76; IC 95 %: 0,50-1,15). Las infecciones se redujeron significativamente (RR = 0,60; IC 95 %: 0,45-0,80) y la duración de la estancia de hospitalización fue 4,09 días menor (IC 95 %: -6,71 a -1,46). Conclusión: El uso de GLN parenteral en pacientes quirúrgicos críticos parece disminuir las infecciones y la duración de la estancia hospitalaria, pero no pudimos demostrar una reducción significativa de la mortalidad.
