The objective of this study was to assess sex\u2010specific differences in the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of acamprosate in the treatment of women and men with alcohol dependence.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A sex\u2010specific meta\u2010analysis was conducted based on individual patient data (IPD). Data were obtained from double\u2010blind, randomized controlled trials with quantitative drinking measures in patients with alcohol dependence receiving oral acamprosate or placebo. Sources included PubMed, PsychInfo, and Cochrane electronic databases; reference lists from retrieved articles and presentations at professional meetings; and direct access to authors and companies who provided IPD.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Individual records were obtained from 1,317 women and 4,794 men who participated in 22 eligible studies conducted in 18 countries. IPD meta\u2010analyses found a significant beneficial effect of acamprosate relative to placebo across all 4 efficacy end points: an incremental gain of 10.4% (95% CI 7.1 to 13.7, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001) in percentage of abstinent days, an incremental gain of 11.0% (7.4 to 14.6, <jats:italic>p\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.001) in percentage of no heavy drinking days, an odds ratio of 1.9 (1.6 to 2.2, <jats:italic>p\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.001) for rate of complete abstinence, and an odds ratio of 1.9 (1.6 to 2.3, <jats:italic>p\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.001) for rate of no heavy drinking, over the study duration. Acamprosate was also associated with significantly higher rates of treatment completion (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.004) and medication compliance (<jats:italic>p\u2003<\/jats:italic>&lt;\u20030.001) than placebo. Men and women did not differ on any measure of acamprosate efficacy, safety, or tolerability.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> This sex\u2010specific IPD meta\u2010analysis provides evidence that acamprosate has a significant effect compared with placebo in improving rates of abstinence and no heavy drinking in both women and men with alcohol dependence. Further, acamprosate was associated with significantly higher rates of treatment completion and medication compliance than placebo among both women and men and had a comparable safety and tolerability profile.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2011.01616.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,6]],"date-time":"2011-09-06T18:51:44Z","timestamp":1315335104000},"page":"497-508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Acamprosate for Alcohol Dependence: A Sex\u2010Specific Meta\u2010Analysis Based on Individual Patient Data"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Barbara J","family":"Mason","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Lehert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association(1987)Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders3rd ed. rev.American Psychiatric Press Washington DC."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association(1994)Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.4th ed.American Psychiatric Press Washington DC."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01621459.1957.10501379"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.295.17.2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsa.2004.65.136"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","first-page":"149","article-title":"Acamprosate: multicenter Portuguese efficacy and tolerance evaluation study","volume":"18","author":"Barrias JA","year":"1997","journal-title":"Psiquiatria Clinica"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1998.tb04295.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1497.1998.cr187.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0197-2456(81)90056-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/35.2.176"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.v67n0211"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2007.00536.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0197-2456(86)90046-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.293.13.1617"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000259166"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2004.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10673220216212"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/36.5.413"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/sim.918"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2007.08.017"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.60.1.92"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_23_1","first-page":"182","article-title":"Acamprosate\u2014a stabilizing factor in long\u2010term withdrawal of alcoholic patients","volume":"50","author":"Ladewig D","year":"1993","journal-title":"Ther Umsch"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(85)91615-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.alcalc.a045057"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_26_1","unstructured":"LittleRJA RubinDB(1987)Statistical Analysis with Missing Data.John A.
