Can Salt Valproate Prevent Switch Associated With Antidepressants in Depressive Patients?Meta-analysis From Chinese Data (Preprint)
BACKGROUND There are many ways to strengthen the effects of treatment for depressive patients,in which, add on mood stabilizer is one of these many ways. And at same time,it was very common that antidepressant induce switch to mania.Does the mood stabilizer can prevent the switch?This study is that assessment the difference between combination treatment of valproate and antidepressant and monotherapy antidepressant. OBJECTIVE to assess the preventing switch effect of valproate in depressive patients treated by antidepressant METHODS We searched Chinese Biomedical Database(CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) , WANFANG database,and Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index(CSSCI) in Chinese to find literature from 1 January 2005 to 1 January 2020 related to the study in model of “comparison of switch rate between combination treatment of valproate and antidepressant and monotherapy of antidepressant in depressive patients” ,among which results such as comments, letters, reviews and case reports were excluded. The rate of switch between groups was synthesized and discussed. RESULTS A total of 549 subjects were included in 7 studies,in which in 279 cases are in combination group and 270 cases are in group of monotherapy by antidepressant . Random effect model is used to account for the data by Revman 5.2. The results showed that the switch rate of valproate group was 0.11%(3/279),switch rate of antidepressant group was 11.11%( 30/270), which was very different in switch rate(OR=0.13 ,95% CI: 0.05–0.35) and also indicated that valproate reduced switch rate was 99%[ (11.11%-0.11%)/11.11%]. In sodium valproate group, switch rate was 0%,while switch rate in antidepressant was 5.7%( OR=0.18,95%CI=0.04-0.84),which was significantly different(Z=2.18,P=0.03). In magnesium valproate group, switch rate was 2.2%,while switch rate in antidepressant was16.92%( OR=0.11,95%CI=0.03-0.39),which was significantly different(Z=3.47,P=0.0005). CONCLUSIONS The salt valproate can reduced switch rate related to antidepressant in depressive patients. In this study, salt valproate reduce 99% switch rate. CLINICALTRIAL NO
