Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety of Azelastine Hydrochloride Combined with Mometasone Furoate in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of azelastine hydrochloride combined with mometasone furoate in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. METHODS: Wanfang Data
CNKI
Baidu Library
Embase
the Cochrane Library
PubMed and other databases were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trial(RCT) of azelastine hydrochloride combined with mometasone furoate in the treatment of allergic rhinitis(the study group and control group were respectively treated with azelastine hydrochloride combined with mometasone furoate and mometasone furoate alone). The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to Sept. 2022. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software after data extraction
selection of literature and evaluation of risk of bias of included literature by two investigators. RESULTS: Totally 8 RCT were enrolled
including 809 patients
with 405 patients in the study group and 404 patients in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that in terms of effectiveness
the total effective rate(OR=4.11
95%CI=2.75-6.16
P<0.000 01) and significant effective rate(OR=2.12
95%CI=1.59-2.82
P<0.000 01)
nasal symptom score(MD=-1.33
95%CI=-1.45--1.21
P<0.000 01) and interleukin-4 level(MD=-5.58
95%CI=-6.38--4.78
P<0.000 01) of allergic rhinitis patients in the study group treated with azelastine hydrochloride combined with mometasone furoate were significantly better than those in the control group treated with mometasone furoate alone
with statistically significant differences. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between the study group and the control group(OR=1.19
95%CI=0.66-2.15
P=0.56). CONCLUSIONS: Available evidence suggests that azelnostine hydrochloride combined with mometasone furoate is safe and effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis
with significant advantages over mometasone furoate alone. Due to the limitation of the number and quality of the selected RCT
the above conclusions need to be validated by more high-quality RCT in the future.
