Abstract

Abstract: Background: Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study showed a lower clopidogrel response when coprescribed with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Despite this, PPIs is necessary for patients treated with long term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Ethnic variance also played a different effect on clopidogrel response. Our study evaluated the effect of concomitant use of DAPT and PPIs and assessed whether ethnic variance exert different effect on clinical outcomes. Methods: We carefully searched EMBASE, PubMed/Medline databases, and the Cochrane library in April 2019. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and individual endpoints reported. We also focused on bleeding events. Studies were excluded if the follow-up were <12 months and patients were not treated with clopidogrel after stent implantation. Results: A total of 18 studies were included in the systematic review (involving 79, 670 patients). No randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. PPIs comedication were associated with increased MACCE (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.28–1.49) while not associated with decreased bleeding risks, such as gastrointestinal bleeding (OR = 1.05; 95% CI = 0.53–2.11). PPIs comedication were associated with increased risk for all endpoints among Caucasian population while not with increased risk for MACE (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 0.99–1.39), all-cause death (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 0.74–2.06), cardiac-death (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 0.64–2.57) among Asian population. Conclusion: PPIs comedication were associated with adverse clinical outcomes, and ethnic variance may exert different effect on clinical outcomes. Subgroup analysis indicated that concomitant use of PPI might be suitable for Asian patients after stent implantation. Abstract : Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text
