Efficacy and tolerability of magnesium sulfate in children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background
Several trials and clinical studies have explored the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) in children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, no systematic review has been conducted to synthesize the available evidence.
Methods
This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of MgSO₄ in children with IESS. The primary outcomes included the proportion of patients achieving spasm freedom, a favorable response in the number of spasms (defined as at least a 50 % reduction in daily spasms), resolution of hypsarrhythmia, improvement in developmental quotient, and the nature and frequency of adverse events. Additionally, we compared these variables between the ACTH+MgSO₄ combination therapy and ACTH monotherapy at various time points. We included all controlled and uncontrolled trials, as well as prospective and retrospective cohort studies.
Results
A total of four studies involving 1334 IESS patients were identified. The proportion of patients achieving a favorable response in daily spasm frequency, spasm freedom, hypsarrhythmia resolution, and EEG normalization was higher in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)+MgSO₄ group than in the ACTH monotherapy group (RR=1.22, 95 % CI: 1.09–1.36, I²=0 %, p = 0.0004; RR=1.44, 95 % CI: 1.24–1.67, I²=29 %, p < 0.00001; RR=1.27, 95 % CI: 1.15–1.41, I²=0 %, p < 0.00001; and RR=1.46, 95 % CI: 1.06–2.02, I²=0 %, p = 0.02, respectively). The proportion of patients experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events was comparable between the ACTH+MgSO₄ and ACTH monotherapy groups (RR=0.55, 95 % CI: 0.28–1.07, I²=49 %, p = 0.08; and RR=1.15, 95 % CI: 0.74–1.79, I²=0 %, p = 0.54, respectively). However, the frequency of hypertension was significantly lower in the ACTH+MgSO₄ group compared to the ACTH monotherapy group (RR=0.11, 95 % CI: 0.03–0.34, I²=0 %, p = 0.0002).
Conclusions
The combination of ACTH and MgSO₄ is more effective than ACTH monotherapy in achieving seizure control in children with IESS. Additionally, it is associated with a reduced risk of certain adverse events, such as hypertension.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both basic and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.
