[Network Meta-analysis of Chinese medicine injections in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage].

To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine injections in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, we collected the relevant randomized controlled trials(RCTs) by computer retrieval from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, and CBM within the timespan from inception to December 30, 2021. The obtained index data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0. Finally, 63 RCTs were selected for analysis, involving 5 953 patients. The experimental groups involved 9 Chinese medicine injections, including Danshen Injection, Danhong Injection, Sodium Aescinate Injection, Qingkailing Injection, Compound Shexiang Injection, Shuxuening Injection, Yinxing Damo Injection, Ginkgolide Injection, and Xingnaojing Injection. The network Meta-analysis showcased the following trends.(1)The surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) in improving neurological function ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection>combined with Danshen Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Qingkailing Injection>combined with Shuxuening Injection>combined with Yinxing Damo Injection.(2)In terms of National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score, the SUCRA ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection>combined with Yinxing Damo Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection.(3)In terms of Glasgow coma scale(GCS) score, the ranking of SUCRA was surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Yinxing Damo Injection>combined with Qingkailing Injection>combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection.(4)The SUCRA in volume of residual cerebral hematoma ranked in the order of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine combined with Sodium Aescinate Injection>combined with Xingnaojing Injection>combined with Danhong Injection>combined with Ginkgolide Injection>combined with Shuxuening Injection>combined with Compound Shexiang Injection. The experimental group had lower incidence of adverse reactions than the control group. The results of network Meta-analysis suggest that on the basis of surgical operation+conventional treatment of western medicine, the application of Chinese medicine injections can improve the efficacy of treating hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. However, in view of the great differences in the quality and number of studies included for different therapies, the SUCRA of Chinese medicine injections need to be further verified with high-quality multi-center, large-sample, randomized double-blind trials.
