ABSTRACT
To electronically search databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Xiyanping Injection for adult community acquired pneumonia patients from inception to August, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis. Seventeen RCTs involving 1924 patients with adult community acquired pneumonia were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that Xiyanping Injection combined with antibiotic group was superior to the antibiotic drugs group (RR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.25, P < 0.000 01) in treatment adults with community acquired pneumonia. At the same time, it can improve the symptoms of cough and shorten the duration of fever and the duration of hospitalization. In terms of safety, there were 26 cases of adverse reactions in the antibiotic group. The primary adverse reactions were gastrointestinal reaction, dizziness, rash, and phlebitis, and reactions were mild and self-healing. There are 30 adverse reactions cases in the combination group, and the types and levels of reaction are same as antibiotic group. Moreover, the current evidence showed that the combination of Xiyanping Injection and conventional antibiotic drugs in the treatment of community acquired pneumonia may significantly improve the curative effect compared with only antibiotics. Rare adverse reactions occurred and safety evaluation was acceptable. However, due to the low methodological quality of the enrolled studies, more clinical research is needed to further verify the results of this work.
