Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of amlodipine plus amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine plus telmisartan in the treatment of mild-to-moderate hypertension by Meta-analysis. METHODS: Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang Database were searched for combination of amlodipine plus amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine plus telmisartan on hypertension treatment using the key words “amlodipine”, “amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide”, “telmisartan” and “hypertension”, supplemented literature recourse method to retrieve. The effectiveness and safety of amlodipine plus amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine plus telmisartan agents and overall effect tests based on strict quality evaluation of clinical trials. RESULTS: 13 literatures and 16 192 patients were included in this study, which consisted of 8 098 cases in amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide group and 8 094 cases in telmisartan group. The result of homogeneity test of efficacy was:χ2=14.50, df=12,P=0.27;while that of safety was χ2=5.86,df=7,P=0.56. The combined ORs and 95%CIs were 0.93,0.81-1.06 for efficacy and 1.23,1.04-1.45 for safety,respectively. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference in therapeutic efficacy between amlodipine plus amiloride /hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine plus telmisartan in the treatment of mild-to-moderate hypertension, but amlodipine plus telmisartan is safer and has less adverse reaction.
