Objective To evaluate the lipid-lowering effect of 10 mg policosanol versus an equal dose of atorvastatinin patients with dyslipidemia. Method Databases such as VIP,Wanfang,CNKI,Cochrance Library,PubMed,Web of Science and EMBASE were searched for random control trials(RCT) and controlled clinical trials (CCT) of 10 mg policosanol versus an equal dose of atorvastatinin their lipid-lowering effects. The quality was assessed by Cochrance Handbook 5.1.0 or Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS).The study related data were analyzed statistically with RevMan 5.2 software.4 RCTs were selected. 257 patients were included in the trials. 130 cases were in 10 mg policosanol group and 127 cases belonged to 10 mg atorvastatin group. Results Results of Meta-analysis show that TC[SMD=0.84,95%CI(0.41,1.27),P=0.000 1] and LDL-C[SMD=0.68,95%CI(0.28,1.09),P=0.001] were reduced more effectively in 10 mg atorvastatin group than in 10 mg policosanol group.HDL-C[SMD=0.27,95%CI(0.02,0.51),P=0.03] was elevated more in 10 mg policosanol group than 10 mg atorvastatin group.Both groups showed no statistic difference(P=0.42) in TG [SMD=0.10,95% CI:(-0.41,0.35),P=0.42]. Conclusion The lipid-lowering efficacy of 10 mg atorvastatin is better than equal dose of policosanolin patients with dyslipidemia. Dose increase of policosanol should be considered to ensure the efficacy when policosanol was used tore place atorvastatin therapy. This study had some shortcomings, such as limited study numbers and small sample size. The reliability of this study should be verified from high-quality,multi-center RCTS with large samples.
