Abstract:

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect of gray drugs such as clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor combined aspirin using network Meta-analysis by comparing major adverse cardiac events.  METHODS: Database Pubmed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data in both English and Chinese were retrieved. RCTs using gray drugs such as clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, cangrelor, sarpogrelate in coronary patients were then collected. Indirect step-by-step comparison was adopted for Meta-Analysis on Stata. RESULTS: A total of 33 trials entered into the study. There was significant difference between ticagrel and clopidogrel (OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.64-0.77, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between prasugrel and clopidogrel (OR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.84-1.01, P=0.487). There was significant difference between ticagrel and prasugrel (OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Ticagrelor combined aspirin therapy showed best curative effect in preventing major adverse cardiovascular events of coronary heart disease, prasugrel the second, and clopidogrel the last.
