Key result
Parenteral Shenmai plus standard therapy is linked to better CHD cure rates versus other regimens.
Why the study?
The efficacy and effects of combination therapies with parenterally administered Shenmai for coronary heart disease were not well understood in real-world settings.
Does parenterally administered Shenmai combined with specific concomitant medications improve the cure rate in in-patients with coronary heart disease?
Observational (n=5,583)
Yes
Does parenterally administered Shenmai combined with specific concomitant medications improve the cure rate in in-patients with coronary heart disease?
Real-world data suggests that combining parenterally administered Shenmai with standard coronary heart disease medications may improve treatment outcomes.
May support adjunctive parenteral Shenmai in coronary heart disease; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
In order to understand the treatment of coronary heart disease with parenterally administered Shenmai and the efficacy of combination therapies, the study selected 18 hospitals for analysis. Data from each hospital's hospital injection system (HIS) was collected. Data of in-patients receiving parenterally administered Shenmai for a diagnosis of coronary heart disease was analyzed using; the Apriori algorithm to model use, Clementine 12.0 linkage analysis to find correlations between various drugs, and chi-square test for commonly used combination therapies to ascertain the cure rate. In 5 583 patients with coronary heart disease, it was found that Shenmai was commonly used with isosorbide mononitrate, aspirin, clopidogrel hydrogen and common combinations of combination therapy, and that the cure rate was better in these combinations than for other treatment regimes. When Shenmai is used with combination therapies for coronary heart disease, treatment guidelines should be complied with. In clinical application, the types of concomitant medications and their interactions, should be observed so as to prevent of adverse reactions.
