Abstract

This meta-analysis assessed the prognostic value of serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level for cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We conducted a systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and Weipu databases until December 2018. Observational studies investigating the prognostic role of serum GGT level for CV and all-cause mortality in patients with CAD were included. Pooled risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the highest versus the lowest GGT level were used to summarize the prognostic value. Twelve studies involving 12 531 patients with CAD were included. Meta-analysis showed that elevated GGT level was significantly associated with higher risk of CV mortality (RR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.57-2.64) and all-cause mortality (RR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.27-1.74) in patients with CAD. This meta-analysis suggests that elevated serum GGT levels are an independent predictor of CV and all-cause mortality in patients with CAD. Determination of GGT level may improve the prediction of CV and all-cause mortality in patients with CAD.
