OBJECTIVE：To systematically e valuate the effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroids combined with tiotropium bromide versus inhaled corticosteroids alone in the treatment of asthmatic-COPD overlap syndrome ，and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical use. METHODS ：Retrieved from PubMed ，Web of Science ，Embase，Cochrane Library ，CBM，CNKI， VIP，Wanfang database ，during the establishment of the database to Nov. 2019，randomized controlled trials （RCT）about inhaled corticosteroids combined with tiotropium bromide （trial group ）versus inhaled corticosteroids alone （control group ）in the treatment of asthmatic-COPD overlap syndrome were collected. After data extraction of included literatures met inclusion criteria ，quality evaluation with modified Jadad scale ，Meta-analysis was performed for response rate ，forced expiratory volume in the first second （FEV1），forced vital capacity （FVC），FEV1/FVC，inspiratory fraction （IC/TLC），residual to total ratio （RV/TLC），asthma symptom（ACT）score，chronic obstructive pulmonary symptom （CAT）score，the times of acute exacerbations by Rev Man 5.3.0 software. RESULTS ：A total of 25 RCTs were included ，involving 2 828 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the response rate [RR ＝1.16，95％CI（1.10，1.22），P＜0.001]，FEV1[MD＝0.44，95％CI（0.35，0.54），P＜0.001]，FVC [MD ＝0.70， 95％CI（0.46，0.95），P＜0.001]，FEV1/FVC [MD= 8.79，95％CI（6.22，11.37），P＜0.001]，IC/TLC [MD ＝4.93，95％CI（3.01， 6.85），P＜0.001]，RV/TLC [MD ＝－9.22，95％CI（－9.79，－8.66），P＜0.001]，ACT score [MD ＝5.38，95％CI（4.30，6.47）， P＜0.001]，CAT score [MD ＝－3.67，95％CI（－4.89，－2.45），P＜0.001] and the times of acute exacerbations [MD ＝－1.49， 95％CI（－2.82，－0.17），P＝0.03] in trial group were significantly higher than control group ，with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS：Compared with inhaled corticosteroids alone ，inhaled hormone combined with tiotropium bromide can improve the response rate and pulmonary function ，but increase the times of acute exacerbation of patients with asthmatic-COPD overlap syndrome.
