Duration and dosing of systemic corticosteroids for acute exacerbation of COPD, protocol for a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized trials and cohort studies
<h4>Purpose</h4> Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a leading cause of deterioration in patients with otherwise stably controlled COPD. Treatments of AECOPD often require the use of corticosteroid therapy in conjunction with bronchodilators and antibi...

| description | <h4>Purpose</h4> Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a leading cause of deterioration in patients with otherwise stably controlled COPD. Treatments of AECOPD often require the use of corticosteroid therapy in conjunction with bronchodilators and antibiotics. However, the duration and dosage of corticosteroids still remain unclear. We propose to perform this systematic review and meta-analysis of all available randomized control trials (RCTs) and observational cohort studies to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of different corticosteroid duration and dosing regimen in the current body of evidence. <h4>Methods</h4> We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL via Ovid as well as CINAHL and Web of Science for available literature comparing different corticosteroid duration and dosage in the treatment of AECOPD. We will perform title and full text screening in duplicate, then extract relevant data using a pre-piloted extraction form. We will define short duration as less than 14-day duration of treatment and long duration as greater than 14-day treatment. We will report mortality difference as our primary outcome, with additional comparisons in incidence of re-exacerbation, hospital length of stay, lung function, incidence of hyperglycemia and infection. We will perform risk of bias assessment using the ROB2.0 and ROBINS-I tool, as well as the GRADE assessment to assess the quality of evidence. <h4>Results</h4> We will publish the full results of our systematic review and meta-analysis in a peer-reviewed journal. <h4>Discussions</h4> To our knowledge, this represents an updated and most comprehensive review of the literature comparing different duration and dosing regimen of corticosteroid treatments in AECOPD, as we will include both RCTs and observational studies without date or language restrictions. We aim to validate prior meta-analyses and study findings on the efficacy of short duration corticosteroid therapy over longer treatments and to inform future research directions in dosing regimens. |
