■亚急性甲状腺炎(SAT)是一种自限性和炎症性甲状腺疾病。尽管SAT通常会在几周内自行提高,当患者疼痛时需要治疗,发烧,和甲状腺毒症的症状。治疗药物主要包括非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)和糖皮质激素。目前,对于非甾体抗炎药和糖皮质激素治疗SAT的结局比较,没有系统评价或荟萃分析.
■对接受糖皮质激素或NSAIDs治疗的亚急性甲状腺炎患者的结局进行系统评价和荟萃分析。
■使用四个电子数据库,包括PubMed,Embase,科克伦图书馆,万方数据库和WebofScience。搜索了2023年6月21日之前的所有出版物。独立筛选所有选定文章的参考列表,以确定初始搜索中遗漏的其他研究。
■将包括比较糖皮质激素和非甾体抗炎药对亚急性甲状腺炎患者的疗效的文献。
■两名独立研究者(安琪元和吴嘉露)根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南(PRISMA)的首选报告项目提取数据,然后用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估符合条件的研究质量。应用meta分析的固定效应模型。用卡方(x²)检验(Cochran'sQ)和不一致性指数(I²)评估异质性。用灵敏度分析检验了结果的稳健性。使用Harbord检验评估发表偏倚。
■接受糖皮质激素或NSAIDs治疗的SAT患者中永久性甲状腺功能减退症的发生率。
■我们的研究共包括十项比较队列研究,共1337名参与者。我们发现接受糖皮质激素治疗的SAT患者发生永久性甲状腺功能减退症的发生率明显低于接受NSAIDs治疗的患者。(或,0.56;95%CI,0.36-0.88;P=0.01)。接受平均初始剂量<40mg/d的泼尼松患者发生永久性甲状腺功能减退的风险显着低于接受NSAIDs的患者(OR,0.37;95%CI,0.14-0.94;P=0.04)。接受平均初始剂量≥40mg/d泼尼松的SAT患者与仅接受NSAIDs的SAT患者之间永久性甲状腺功能减退的发生率没有显着差异(OR,0.7;95%CI,0.14-3.53;P=0.67)。此外,接受糖皮质激素的患者的复发率明显高于接受NSAIDs的患者(OR,1.98;95%CI,1.12-3.5;p=0.02)。平均初始泼尼松剂量<40mg/d的患者的复发率明显高于NSAIDs组。平均初始泼尼松剂量≥40mg/d组和NSAIDs组患者的复发率没有显着差异。
■在此荟萃分析中,我们比较了糖皮质激素和NSAIDs对SAT患者的治疗结果.我们的结果表明,糖皮质激素治疗与NSAID治疗相比,永久性甲状腺功能减退症的发生率较低。使用NSAIDs治疗的患者可能具有较低的复发率。这一发现可能有助于在选择不同药物时了解疾病的结果,并帮助医生做出适当的决定。

UNASSIGNED: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a self-limiting and inflammatory thyroid disease. Although SAT usually improves on its own within weeks, it needs treatment when patients have pain, fever, and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. Therapeutic drugs mainly include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids. Currently, there is no systematic review or meta-analysis of the comparison of outcomes between NSAIDs and glucocorticoids for the treatment of SAT.
UNASSIGNED: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the outcomes in subacute thyroiditis patients treated with glucocorticoids or NSAIDs.
UNASSIGNED: Using the four electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang database and Web of Science. All publications until 21 June 2023 were searched. The reference lists of all selected articles were independently screened to identify additional studies left out in the initial search.
UNASSIGNED: The literature comparing outcomes between glucocorticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for patients with subacute thyroiditis will be included.
UNASSIGNED: Two independent investigators (Anqi Yuan and Jialu Wu) extracted the data following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines (PRISMA) and then evaluated the quality of the eligible studies with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Fixed-effects models for the meta-analyses were applied. Heterogeneity was assessed with the chi-squared (x²) test (Cochran\'s Q) and inconsistency index (I²). The robustness of the results was tested with the sensitivity analyses. The bias of publication was assessed with the Harbord test.
UNASSIGNED: The incidence of permanent hypothyroidism in SAT patients treated with corticosteroids or NSAIDs.
UNASSIGNED: Our study included a total of ten comparative cohort studies with 1337 participants. We found that the incidence of developing permanent hypothyroidism in the SAT patients who received glucocorticoids treatment was significantly lower than those who received NSAIDs treatment. (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.36-0.88; P = 0.01). The risk of permanent hypothyroidism in patients who received prednisone at an average initial dose < 40 mg/d was significantly lower than that in patients who received NSAIDs (OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.14-0.94; P = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of permanent hypothyroidism between SAT patients who received an average initial dose ≥ 40 mg/d of prednisone and those who received only NSAIDs (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.14-3.53; P = 0.67). In addition, the recurrence rate was observably higher in those receiving glucocorticoids than in those receiving NSAIDs (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.12-3.5; p = 0.02). The recurrence rate was significantly higher in patients with an average initial prednisone dose of < 40 mg/d than in the NSAIDs group. There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate between patients in the mean initial prednisone dose ≥ 40 mg/d group and those in the NSAIDs group.
UNASSIGNED: In this meta-analysis, we compared the treatment outcomes of SAT patients between glucocorticoids and NSAIDs. Our results indicated that glucocorticoid treatment was associated with a lower incidence of permanent hypothyroidism than NSAID treatment. Patients treated with NSAIDs might have a lower recurrence rate. This finding might help to understand the outcome of the disease when choosing different drugs and help physicians to make appropriate decisions.
