Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cinobufacin Injection in the treatment of malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion and to make a meta-analysis. Methods Three Chinese databases (CNKI, WanFang, VIP) and three English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase) were systematically searched by computer from building database to June 2019. The randomized controlled clinical trial of Cinobufacin Injection in the treatment of malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion was screened according to the pre-established screening criteria, and meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 145 literatures were retrieved and 9 studies were finally included, with a total sample size of 532 cases, 267 cases in experimental group and 265 cases in control group. The overall quality and sample size of the included studies were generally low. Meta analysis showed that total amount reduction of malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion (OR = 4.78, 95%CI: 3.12-7.32, P < 0.000 01), quality of life improvement (OR = 3.56, 95%CI: 2.06-6.18, P < 0.000 01) and myelosuppression (OR = 0.56, 95%CI: 0.33-0.94, P = 0.03) in Cinobufacin + Western medicine treatment group were all better than those in western medicine treatment group. Conclusion Cinobufacin Injection combined with Western medicine can effectively reduce total amount of malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the incidence of myelosuppression in adverse reactions.
