Abstract:

Objective To analyze the occurrence of drug-induced liver injury of the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in tuberculosis treatment through collecting literature provide the reference for rational drug use in clinic. Methods We determined literature on the combined treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for tuberculosis published in domestic and foreign databases (CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and PubMed databases) from January 2000 to July 2019, inclusion of primary disease for tuberculosis, and inclusion criteria were research papers that reported describing liver injury case report, primary disease with liver injury, drug method and dose. Treatment regimen with the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine was the experimental group, while regimen with Western medicine was the control group.Twenty-two full-text studies were included and analyzed through excluding unqualified literatures including content of studies was not meet the requirements (non-clinical trial studies, literature review, review, etc),describing the information was incomplete or inaccurate,and literature of low quality or low data reliability.SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, frequency statistical analysis was used for measurement data, and rank sum test was used for comparison of counting data, P<0.05 was presented for statistically significant difference. Results Of the 22 articles, 2561 were tuberculosis patients. The incidence rate of liver injury in the experimental group (12.05%(156/1295)) was significantly lower than the control group (24.33%(308/1266))(χ 2=65.096, P<0.001). The incidence of liver injury in initial treatment regimen, retreatment regimen and drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment regimen in the experimental group (10.65%(23/216), 4.35%(3/69) and 10.86% (19/175) respectively) was significantly lower than the control group (25.12%(54/215), 13.04%(9/69) and 26.75% (42/157) respectively)(χ 2=15.371,P<0.001;χ 2=3.286,P=0.070;χ 2=13.940,P<0.001). Conclusion The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can reduce the incidence of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury compared with the anti-tuberculosis regimen of Western medicine.
