PG - 1189-1199 LID - 10.1002/pds.5677 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin monotherapy for the treatment of uncomplicated pelvic inflammatory disease (uPID). METHODS: The literatures from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Cochrane library and the http://clinicaltrials.gov/ were retrieved until February 2023. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin with other antibiotics for treating uPID were included. The primary outcomes were clinical cure rate (CCR), bacteriological success rates (BSR) and risk of drug-related adverse events (AEs). We used random-effects modelled meta-analysis, trial sequential analysis, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation. This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration number: CRD42023428751). RESULTS: A total of four RCTs that enrolled 3201 women patients with uPID were included. In the per-protocol populations, no significant difference was observed between patients given moxifloxacin and those given other antibiotics with regard to CCR at test-of-cure (TOC) (2485 patients, odds ratio [OR] = 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68-1.04, p = 0.12). Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference between patients given moxifloxacin and those given other antibiotics in terms of BSR at TOC (471 patients, OR = 1.17, 95% CI 0.70-1.96, p = 0.56) in the microbiologically valid population. However, drug-related AEs occurred less frequently with moxifloxacin than with other antibiotics (2973 patients, OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.64-0.86, p < 0.0001), especially gastrointestinal AEs (2973 patients, OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.47-0.74, p < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of uPID, moxifloxacin monotherapy can achieve similar efficacy as other combination therapy regimens. Moreover, moxifloxacin had a better safety profile than that of comparators. Based on its additional advantages (i.e., better safety profile, no dosage adjustment and better compliance), moxifloxacin may be a more fascinating option compared with the currently used regimens.
