Studie belegt: Dampfer haben eine erhöhte Chance, abstinent zu bleiben

Im August 2021 veröffentlichten die Forscher Gary C.K.Chan, DanielStjepanović, Carmen Lim, Tianze Sun, Aathavan Shanmuga Anandan, Jason P.Connor, Coral Gartner, Wayne D.Hall und Janni Leung die Studie mit dem Namen: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and network meta-analysis of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation . Diese Studie ist deswegen so interessant, weil sie klar belegt das Dampfer eine erhöhte Chance haben von dem Pyros dauerhaft loszukommen. 

Results

For the e-cigarette trials, our initial search identified 4,717 studies and we included 7 trials for NMA after removal of duplicates, record screening and assessment of eligibility (Total N = 5,674). For NRT trials, our initial search identified 1,014 studies and we included 9 trials that satisfied our inclusion criteria (Total N = 6,080). Results from NMA indicated that participants assigned to use nicotine e-cigarettes were more likely to remain abstinent from smoking than those in the control condition (pooled Risk Ratio (RR) = 2.08, 97.5% CI = [1.39, 3.15]) and those who were assigned to use NRT (pooled RR = 1.49, 97.5% CI = [1.04, 2.14]. There was a moderate heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 42%). Most of the e-cigarette trials has moderate or high risk of bias.

Conclusion

Smokers assigned to use nicotine e-cigarettes were more likely to remain abstinent from smoking than those assigned to use licensed NRT, and both were more effective than usual care or placebo conditions. More high quality studies are required to ascertain the effect of e-cigarette on smoking cessation due to risk of bias in the included studies.
