Abstract

The present meta‑analysis investigated the clinical value of serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑9 levels in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‑19) patients. Studies assessing the outcomes of patients with COVID‑19 in correlation with the MMP‑9 levels were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane, WANFANG, and CNKI. A meta‑analysis was performed to compare the serum MMP‑9 levels between different patient groups: Severe vs. non‑severe; acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) vs. non‑ARDS; non‑survivors vs. survivors; neurologic syndrome vs. non‑neurologic syndrome; and obese diabetic vs. non‑obese diabetic. A total of 2,062 COVID‑19‑confirmed patients from 12 studies were included in this meta‑analysis. The serum MMP‑9 levels were significantly higher in patients with severe COVID‑19 than in those with non‑severe COVID‑19 [weighted mean difference (WMD) 246.61 (95% confidence interval (CI), 115.86‑377.36), P<0.001]. Patients with ARDS exhibited significantly higher MMP‑9 levels than those without ARDS [WMD 248.55 (95% CI, 63.84‑433.25), P<0.001]. The MMP‑9 levels in the non‑survivors did not significantly differ from those in the survivors [WMD 37.79 (95% CI, ‑18.08‑93.65), P=0.185]. Patients with comorbidities, including neurological syndromes, and obese diabetic patients had significantly higher MMP‑9 levels than those without comorbidities [WMD 170.73 (95% CI, 95.61‑245.85), P<0.001]. Serum MMP‑9 levels were associated with COVID‑19 severity and may serve as a therapeutic target for improving the prognosis of patients with COVID‑19.
