摘要
Long-acting beta agonists and inhaled corticosteroids combination products (LABA-ICS) are widely used in the treatment of asthma. However, there appears to be little data on their cardiovascular safety. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the available studies and trials on the cardiovascular safety of LABA-ICS in adults with asthma. Two independent reviewers screened citations from PubMed and National Clinical Trials registry to identify studies and trials on the cardiovascular effects of LABA-ICS in patients with asthma. A total of 15 studies (with 17 cohorts on LABA-ICS to compare with a comparator or placebo) with 5,440 total study participants met the inclusion criteria. Two studies on budesonide-formoterol and one on fluticasone-salmeterol reported treatment emergent cardiovascular adverse events, all of which were dysrhythmias. For comparison, the pooled estimate of the Peto odds ratio (0.72; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.17-3; p = 0.65) and the summary risk ratio (0.77; 95 % CI 0.26-2.3; p = 0.64) indicated a nonsignificant difference between LABA-ICS and comparator/placebo groups. Our systematic review found that few studies and trials reported treatment emergent cardiovascular adverse events with LABA-ICS. However, the Peto odds ratio and risk ratio for these outcomes was statistically nonsignificant. This suggests that LABA-ICS products may have a safe cardiovascular profile in asthma patients.
