Abstract
BACKGROUND
Currently, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has become one of those public issues in society, which has added a huge burden to both the individuals and the society. In the current clinical stage, there are numerous drugs developed to treat this disease, and different drug treatment measures have been proven to achieve certain clinical efficacy in the corresponding randomized controlled trials. However, there are still many therapeutic drugs that have not been directly compared and studied. Therefore, it is difficult to directly compare the effectiveness and safety of various strategies for the treatment of DILI. In this regard, the present study collected the therapeutic efficacy of diverse treatments in DILI in recent years through network meta-analysis, evaluated and screened the existing optimal clinical therapeutic plan, and helped physicians formulate clinical therapeutic plans.
METHODS
Databases, including the Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang Data Journal Paper Resources (Wangfang), VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Full-text Database, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE, were searched using keywords from inception to January 2023. Eligible randomized controlled trials were selected in line with eligibility criteria, and mesh meta-analysis of binary variables was carried out using Stata 16 software.
CONCLUSION
In combination with alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin, MI may be the intervention measure for minimizing alanine aminotransferase levels in patients after treatment. Besides, compound glycyrrhizin may be the intervention for minimizing aspartate aminotransferase levels in patients after treatment, and polyene phosphatidylcholine may be the intervention for minimizing total bilirubin levels in patients after treatment. Placebo is the potential intervention that has the least adverse reactions post-treatment, and RT has the second least adverse reactions. Moreover, hepatocyte growth-promoting factors may be the most effective intervention after treatment.
RESULTS
To sum up, the present work compared the clinical effects of 13 liver protective drugs through meta-analysis and provided a systematic understanding of commonly used drugs for the treatment of DILI in clinical practice.
