PG - 102164 LID - S1871-4021(21)00182-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.dsx.2021.06.001 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: In patients with coronary artery disease anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to be effective in reducing cardiovascular events. The effect of this intervention in the population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is poorly explored. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of anti-inflammatory therapy on the incidence of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with T2DM. METHODS: A meta-analysis of randomized studies that evaluated the use of anti-inflammatory therapy in patients with T2DM and reported MACE was performed, after searching the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scielo, Google Scholar and Cochrane Controlled Trials databases. A fixed or random effects models were used. RESULTS: Five studies were selected for the analysis (2075 subjects in the anti-inflammatory therapy arm and 2490 patients in the placebo/control arm). All studies included patients with T2DM and history of coronary artery disease. Four studies evaluated the use of colchicine and one of them canakinumab. The use of anti-inflammatory therapy was associated with a lower risk of MACE (HR: 0.80; 95% CI, 0.69-0.93; I(2) = 24%). The sensitivity analysis shows that the results are robust. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis demonstrated that the use of anti-inflammatory therapy in patients with T2DM and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was associated with reduced risk of MACE. These results suggest the need to consider the inflammatory pathway as a potential therapeutic target in patients with T2DM. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Diabetes India. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
