Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease: a network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The comparative effects of different ESAs on blood transfusions, death (any cause and cardiovascular), major cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular access thrombosis, kidney failure, fatigue and breathlessness were uncertain.PMID:36791280 | PMC:PMC9924302 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD010590.pub3

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for anaemia in adults with chronic kidney disease: a network meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: In the CKD setting, there is currently insufficient evidence to suggest the superiority of any ESA formulation based on available safety and efficacy data. Directly comparative data for the effectiveness of different ESA formulations based on patient-centred outcomes (such as quality of life, fatigue, and functional status) are sparse and poorly reported and current research studies are unable to inform care. All proprietary ESAs (epoetin alfa, epoetin beta, darbepoetin alfa, and methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) prevent blood transfusions but information for biosimilar ESAs is less conclusive. Compara...
