Influence of sodium thiosulfate on coronary artery calcification of patients on dialysis: a meta-analysis

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is common in dialysis patients and is associated with a higher risk of future cardiovascular events. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is effective for calciphylaxis in dialysis patients; however, the influence of STS on CAC in dialysis patients remains unclear. This syste...

description Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is common in dialysis patients and is associated with a higher risk of future cardiovascular events. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is effective for calciphylaxis in dialysis patients; however, the influence of STS on CAC in dialysis patients remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of STS on CAC in patients undergoing dialysis. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched from inception to 22 March 2023 for controlled studies comparing the influence of STS versus usual care without STS on CAC scores in dialysis patients. A random effects model incorporating the potential influence of heterogeneity was used to pool the results. Nine studies, including two non-randomized studies and seven randomized controlled trials, were included in the meta-analysis. Among these, 365 patients on dialysis were included in the study. Compared with usual care without STS, intravenous STS for 3–6 months was associated with significantly reduced CAC scores (mean difference [MD] = −180.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −276.64 to −83.70, p < 0.001, I(2) = 0%). Sensitivity analysis limited to studies of patients on hemodialysis showed similar results (MD: −167.33, 95% CI: −266.57 to −68.09, p = 0.001; I(2) = 0%). Subgroup analyses according to study design, sample size, mean age, sex, dialysis vintage of the patients, and treatment duration of STS also showed consistent results (p for subgroup differences all > 0.05). In conclusion, intravenous STS may be effective in attenuating CAC in dialysis patients.
