Abstract

Introduction: Oral finasteride and topical minoxidil are long-standing androgenetic alopecia (AGA) treatments; topical finasteride is a more recent medicine. Few studies have compared their therapeutic effects in postmenopausal women. We compared the therapeutic impact of topical finasteride (1-4 sprays of 0.25% topical finasteride solution daily for 12 months), oral finasteride (2.5 mg oral finasteride once daily for 12 months), and topical minoxidil (1 mL of topical minoxidil 5% twice daily for 12 months) in postmenopausal women with AGA.

Methods: We conducted Bayesian network meta-analyses of individual patient-level data insofar as four clinically relevant endpoints, namely, 12-month change in (1) total hair density, (2) hair diameter, (3) clinical photographs, and (4) patients' opinion of efficacy. Data were obtained through medical charts. Regimens' surface under the cumulative ranking distribution (SUCRA) values and relative effects - as per odds ratios - were computed.

Results: As per SUCRA, the most and least effective regimens - across the four outcomes - were oral finasteride, and topical finasteride, respectively; however, no significant statistical differences were found (i.e., p > 0.05).

Conclusion: Oral finasteride is ranked more effective than the topical forms of minoxidil and finasteride; however, more studies are needed to confirm this result.

外用米诺地尔、口服非那雄胺和外用非那雄胺单一疗法对绝经后模式性脱发妇女的比较效果:一项回顾性队列研究。
介绍:口服非那雄胺和外用米诺地尔是治疗雄激素性脱发(AGA)的长期药物,而外用非那雄胺则是较新的药物。很少有研究比较这两种药物对绝经后妇女的治疗效果。我们比较了外用非那雄胺(0.25% 非那雄胺外用溶液,每天 1-4 喷,12 个月)、口服非那雄胺(2.5 毫克非那雄胺口服液,每天一次,12 个月)和外用米诺地尔(5% 米诺地尔外用溶液,1 毫升,每天两次,12 个月)对绝经后 AGA 妇女的治疗效果:我们对患者个人层面的数据进行了贝叶斯网络荟萃分析,这些数据涉及四个临床相关终点,即 12 个月内(1)总毛发密度、(2)毛发直径、(3)临床照片和(4)患者对疗效的看法的变化。数据通过病历获得。结果:根据 SUCRA,在四种结果中,最有效和最无效的治疗方案分别是口服非那雄胺和外用非那雄胺,但没有发现显著的统计学差异(即 p > 0.05):结论:与米诺地尔和非那雄胺外用药相比,口服非那雄胺的疗效更佳;然而,还需要更多的研究来证实这一结果。
