Meta-analysis comparing P2Y12 inhibitors in acute coronary syndrome
The American Journal of Cardiology Apr 09, 2020
Baldetti L, Melillo F, Moroni F, et al. - To inform P2Y12 inhibitor choice in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), researchers performed a network meta-analysis, signifying the largest evidence to date, with 14 studies including 145,019 patients. This systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The study endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), definite stent thrombosis (ST) and major bleeding at 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality and MI. At 30-day, the superiority of prasugrel over both clopidogrel and ticagrelor was noted in terms of MACE, all-cause death and definite ST endpoints. In MI endpoint, both prasugrel and ticagrelor were shown to be superior to clopidogrel. Ticagrelor vs clopidogrel afforded reduced all-cause death. Relative to clopidogrel, both prasugrel and ticagrelor brought about a decrease in the occurrence of 1-year all-cause death. Overall, prasugrel demonstrated the highest efficacy in decreasing adverse consequences in ACS patients and had the highest likelihood of being the best P2Y12 inhibitor to decrease hard adverse events both at 30-day as well as 1-year follow-up.
