PG - 201-19 LID - 10.1007/s40256-016-0164-5 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The results of previous studies have been contradictory in terms of the efficacy of statin treatment in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and clinical adverse events (AEs). OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis was undertaken to assess the role of short-term statin treatment in the prevention of CI-AKI and clinical AEs. METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and PubMed databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with the development of CI-AKI as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were the post-procedural serum creatinine (SCr) level, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and development of AEs. We also performed prespecified subgroup analyses. RESULTS: A total of 21 RCTs involving 7746 patients were included. Short-term statin treatment significantly reduced the risk of CI-AKI [risk ratio (RR) 0.57; 95 % confident interval (CI) 0.47-0.69; p < 0.00001) and was associated with a lower post-procedural SCr level and a higher eGFR. High-dose statins resulted in a lower incidence of CI-AKI than the lower-dose statins. In addition, the benefit was seen across various subgroups for patients at risk of CI-AKI, statin-naive patients, and East Asians, regardless of statin type, definition of CI-AKI, use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and hydration, and osmolality of contrast. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the incidence of AEs. CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis suggests that short-term statin treatment can effectively prevent CI-AKI, and the benefit is also observed in high-risk patients, statin-naive patients, and an East Asian population. However, the effect of simvastatin for the prevention of CI-AKI, of statins for the prevention of AEs, and whether high-dose statins have a better effect than lower-dose statins are all still uncertain.
