摘要
背景:术后心房颤动(POAF)在心脏手术后经常发生,并与死亡率增加有关。目的:外科神经调节疗法(SNMTs)作为一种预防策略已被探索,但其有效性和安全性仍不确定。方法:检索PubMed、Embase和Cochrane文库,寻找符合条件的随机对照试验。对初级(POAF)和次级(住院时间;并发症;房颤1年;操作时间;POAF负担;ICU住院)终点。对各技术进行亚组分析。我们使用风险比(RR)对二元终点和连续终点的平均差异进行比较。我们计算了所有结果的95%置信区间。我们对主要(POAF)和次要(住院时间;并发症)的端点。我们对所有至少有10个观察值的协变量进行了meta回归。结果:我们纳入了20项试验(n=3348)。7例研究前脂肪垫(AFP)保存,5例研究肺静脉隔离(PVI), 2例研究神经节丛(GP)消融,1例研究心脏部分去神经(PCD), 5例研究心外膜注射。SNMT组POAF发生率较低(RR 0.62;0.79), p < 0.001),由AFP保存、PCD和PVI亚组驱动。心外膜注射仅对接受冠状动脉手术的患者有效。snmt也减少了住院时间(p=0.03)。所有meta回归分析均不显著。在试验序列分析中,观察到POAF的积极作用。结论:本荟萃分析发现,AFP保存、PCD和PVI的实施显著降低了POAF的发病率。心外膜注射仅对接受冠状动脉搭桥术的患者有效。
Surgical Neuromodulation Therapies to Prevent Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis, Meta Regression and Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery and is associated with increased mortality.
Objectives: Surgical neuromodulation therapies (SNMTs) have been explored as a preventive strategy, but their efficacy and safety remain uncertain.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane library for eligible randomized controlled trials. Meta-analysis was performed for primary (POAF) and secondary (hospital stay; complications; atrial fibrillation at 1 year; operation time; POAF burden; ICU stay) endpoints. Subgroup analysis was conducted for each technique. We compared endpoints using risk ratio (RR) for binary and mean difference for continuous outcomes. We calculated 95% confidence intervals for all outcomes. We carried out a trial sequential analysis for primary (POAF) and secondary (hospital stay; complications) endpoints. We conducted meta-regression for all covariates with at least 10 observations.
Results: We included 20 trials (n=3348). Seven studied anterior fat pad (AFP) preservation, 5 pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), 2 ganglionic plexus (GP) ablation, 1 partial cardiac denervation (PCD) and 5 assessed epicardial injections. POAF incidence was lower in the SNMT group (RR 0.62 (0.48; 0.79), p < 0.001), driven by the AFP preservation, PCD and PVI subgroups. Epicardial injections were only effective in patients undergoing coronary surgery. SNMTs also reduced hospital stay (p=0.03). All meta-regression analyses were insignificant. In the trial sequential analysis, a positive effect for POAF was observed.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis found a significant reduction in POAF incidence with implementation of AFP preservation, PCD and PVI. Epicardial injections were only effective for patients undergoing coronary bypass.
