Objective
Angiotensin II (ATII) was approved for distributive shock in Spain (2023). The objective is to assess the experience with ATII by comparing a meta-analysis (MTA) and 4 Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
Design
A search was conducted in Pubmed®, Central®, Embase®, and Scopus®. Randomized clinical trials, non-randomized trials, and observational studies were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled. Four AI tools were used: Consensus, Perplexity, Elicit, and Scite.
Setting
Intensive care medicine.
Patients or participants
One thousand six hundred and thirty-six studies were identified, with 10 studies included in the MTA.
Interventions
No interventions.
Main variables of interest
Mortality, efficacy, and safety.
Results
ATII shows a trend towards mortality reduction when compared with controls, OR: 0.86 (95% CI: 0.60-1.23); this reduction reaches significance in patient subgroups: High Renin Levels, OR: 0.45 (95% CI: 0.22-0.93); shock with renal replacement therapy, OR: 0.38 (95% CI: 0.17-0.84). ATII is very effective in increasing mean arterial pressure, OR: 3.25 (95% CI: 2.24-4.73), without increasing events, OR: 0.77 (95% CI: 0.51-1.14). The AI reached the same conclusions, but only 25-30% of the studies were included in the MTA.
Conclusions
ATII effectively increases blood pressure without side effects and without altering mortality. AI can assist in evaluating clinical evidence.
