Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen tablets on the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with anxiety and/or depression.Methods Randomized controlled trials of flupentixol and melitracen tablets in the treatment of COPD with anxiety and/or depression were retrieved from PubMed, Sciencedirect Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and CQVIP Journal Database, with retrieval time from January 2010 to December 2019. Two researchers screened literature and extracted data independently, and meta-analyzed the results using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 9 articles with 1 123 patients were included. There were 567 patients in the trial group receiving flupentixol and melitracen tablets plus symptomatic support therapy and 556 patients in the control group receiving simple symptomatic treatment. After treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale score [mean difference (MD)=−5.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−7.67, −2.54), P<0.000 1] and Hamilton Depression Scale score [MD=−3.94, 95%CI (−6.64, −1.23), P=0.004] in the trial group were lower than those in the control group, while the forced expiratory volume in one second as percentage of predicted volume [MD=4.89%, 95%CI (0.59%, 9.19%), P=0.03] and COPD Assessment Test score [MD=−3.21, 95%CI (−3.76, −2.66), P<0.000 01] in the trial group were better than those in the control group.Conclusion Flupentixol and melitracen tablets plus symptomatic support therapy has a better effect than simple symptomatic support treatment on COPD with anxiety and/or depression.
