ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have been utilized as a low-cost intervention to improve healthcare process measures. Thus, we aim to estimate CDSS efficacy to optimize adherence to oral anticoagulant guidelines in eligible patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).METHODS:
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) retrieved from PubMed, WOS, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and CENTRAL through August 2023. We used RevMan V. 5.4 to pool dichotomous data using risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). PROSPERO ID CRD42023471806.RESULTS:
We included nine RCTs with a total of 25,573 patients. There was no significant difference, with the use of CDSS compared to routine care, in the number of patients prescribed anticoagulants (RR 1.06, 95% CI [0.98, 1.14], P = 0.16), the number of patients prescribed antiplatelets (RR 1.01 with 95% CI [0.97, 1.06], P = 0.59), all-cause mortality (RR 1.19, 95% CI [0.31, 4.50], P = 0.80), major bleeding (RR 0.84, 95% CI [0.21, 3.45], P = 0.81), and clinically relevant non-major bleeding (RR 1.05, 95% CI [0.52, 2.16], P = 0.88). However, CDSS was significantly associated with reduced incidence of myocardial infarction (RR 0.18, 95% CI [0.06, 0.54], P = 0.002) and cerebral or systemic embolic event (RR 0.11, 95% CI [0.01, 0.83], P = 0.03).CONCLUSION:
We report no significant difference with the use of CDSS compared to routine care in anticoagulant or antiplatelet prescription in eligible patients with AF. CDSS was associated with a reduced incidence of myocardial infarction and cerebral or systemic embolic events.
