  • Beschreibung: <jats:p><jats:italic>Objective</jats:italic>. This study intended to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of modified Dachengqi Decoction (MDD) combined with conventional treatment for treating acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).<jats:italic>Method</jats:italic>. An extensive search was performed within 6 English and Chinese electronic databases from inception to April 2012. Methodological quality was assessed according to Cochrane risk of bias assessment. Data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.1.<jats:italic>Results</jats:italic>. A total of 16 studies (involving 1112 patients) were included. The result showed that MDD and its modification combined with routine treatment were more effective in improving FEV<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>%pred, enhancing the significant effectiveness, reducing PCO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, and shortening duration of mechanical ventilation. Adverse events were reported in two trials with symptom of diarrhea, while no serious adverse effect was reported.<jats:italic>Conclusion</jats:italic>. Modified Dachengqi Decoction appears to be effective for treating AECOPD. However, more regular designed RCTs are needed because of insufficient methodological problems.</jats:p>
