Meta-analysis of clinical efficacy of combined traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis

摘要

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical effect (including effective rate and recurrence rate) of the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis (GM).Methods: Computer searches CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP, PubMed, web of science and EMBASE, Chinese biomedical database, and selects randomized controlled trial (RCT) of treating granulomatous mastitis with the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The retrieval time is from July 2019 to July 2019. Then, we used Revman 5.3 software to meta analyze the data.Results: Nine RCTs were included, six of which were effective observation, two of which were recurrence rate observation, one of which was effective observation and reexamination rate observation. A total of 664 patients were included, including 456 in the experimental group and 208 in the control group. After analysis, it was found that the effective rate of GM in the experimental group was 92.3%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (Western medicine alone) by 75.5% (or = 4.09, 95% CI (2.28, 7.36), P < 00001), the recurrence rate of GM in the experimental group (treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine) was 21.6%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (treated with western medicine alone) by 55.7% (or = 0.19, 95% CI (0.10, 0.37), P < 0.0001).Conclusion: The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis can not only improve the effective rate of clinical treatment, but also reduce the recurrence rate of granulomatous mastitis.
