Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, CNKI, VIP and CBM were searched to collect the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) about somatostatin analogs for Graves Ophthalmopathy (GO) pulished by March 2012, while the bibliographies of the included literatue were also retrieved. According to the inclusion criteria, two reviewers screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 5 RCTs involving 210 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that somatostatin analogs could reduce the clinical activity score (CAS) of GO patients (MD=0.58, 95%CI 0.02 to1.13, P=0.04), but the effects in reducing the degree of proptosis (mm) was still unverifiable (MD=0.21, 95%CI 0.14 to 0.56, P=0.24). It did not show obvious effects for diplopia, orbital volume, intraocular pressure, visual acuity or the restriction of eye movements. The existing evidence could not confirm that somatostatin analogs were effective for GO (OR=1.32, 95%CI 0.45 to 3.9, P=0.61). Conclusion Somatostatin analogs can reduce the CAS of GO patients, but without significantly clinical significance. Moreover, the effect of reducing proptosis is sitll unverifiable. So the existing evidence cannot confirm that somatostatin analogs are effective for GO. For the quality and quantity limitation of the included studies, this conclusion needs to be proved by performing more high quality RCTs.
