Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of different maintenance doses of clopidogrel for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) by a meta-analysis and to provide some advices for clinical therapy. Methods:According to the methods of evidence-based medicine,randomized controlled trials(RCTs) about the different maintenance doses of clopidogrel using on pa-tients after PCI were searched. Data were extracted into a designed form and the quality of selected articles was analyzed. The Rev Man 5.0 software was used for data analysis. Results:Thirteen RCTs containing 2 883 patients were included. The meta-analysis showed that 150 mg clopidogrel significantly inhibited platelet aggregation(PA) and reduced major adverse cardiac events(MACE) incidence than 75 mg clopidogrel(MD=-12.20,95%CI=-13.77 to -10.63,P=0.000)(RR=0.41,95%CI=0.27 to 0.63,P=0.000). Finally,No obvious difference was found in major bleeding(RR=1.61,95%CI=0.90 to 2.87,P=0.110) or minor bleeding(RR=1.19,95%CI=0.87 to 1.62,P=0.270) between the two groups. Conclusion:Clopidogrel with dose of 150 mg is superior to clopidogrel with dose of 75 mg in inhibiting PA and reducing MACE for patients after PCI without bleeding risk.
