Is intravenous sodium thiosulphate (STS) treatment associated with improvement in skin lesions and survival in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experiencing calciphylaxis? This meta-analysis of 19 cohort studies examining STS treatment for patients with CKD experiencing calciphylaxis did not show an association between intravenous STS and skin lesion improvement or survival benefits compared with non-STS group. These results suggest that studies of intravenous STS on patients with CKD experiencing calciphylaxis have not found an improvement in skin lesion outcomes or survival. Future studies that rigorously evaluate therapies applied to patients with calciphylaxis are urgently needed. This meta-analysis of cohort studies reviews current results for the association of sodium thiosulphate treatment with skin lesions and overall survival of patients with chronic kidney disease who contract calciphylaxis. Calciphylaxis is a rare disease with high mortality mainly involving patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sodium thiosulphate (STS) has been used as an off-label therapeutic in calciphylaxis, but there is a lack of clinical trials and studies that demonstrate its effect compared with those without STS treatment. To perform a meta-analysis of the cohort studies that provided data comparing outcomes among patients with calciphylaxis treated with and without intravenous STS. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched using relevant terms and synonyms including sodium thiosulphate and calci* without language restriction. The initial search was for cohort studies published before August 31, 2021, that included adult patients diagnosed with CKD experiencing calciphylaxis and could provide a comparison between patients treated with and without intravenous STS. Studies were excluded if they reported outcomes only from nonintravenous administration of STS or if the outcomes for CKD patients were not provided. Random-effects models were performed. The Egger test was used to measure publication bias. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test. Skin lesion improvement and survival, synthesized as ratio data by a random-effects empirical Bayes model. Among the 5601 publications retrieved from the targeted databases, 19 retrospective cohort studies including 422 patients (mean age, 57 years; 37.3% male) met the eligibility criteria. No difference was observed in skin lesion improvement (12 studies with 110 patients; risk ratio, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.85-1.78) between the STS and the comparator groups. No difference was noted for the risk of death (15 studies with 158 patients; risk ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.70-1.10) and overall survival using time-to-event data (3 studies with 269 participants; hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.57-1.18). In meta-regression, lesion improvement associated with STS negatively correlated with publication year, implying that recent studies are more likely to report a null association compared with past studies (coefficient = −0.14; P = .008). Intravenous STS was not associated with skin lesion improvement or survival benefit in patients with CKD experiencing calciphylaxis. Future investigations are warranted to examine the efficacy and safety of therapies for patients with calciphylaxis.
