This study aimed to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of dexamethasone in patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) through meta\u2010analysis. <jats:italic>Method<\/jats:italic>. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and the Wanfang Databases were searched, and all relevant Chinese and English literature from 2000 to 2021 were retrieved from each database. We collected randomized controlled trials of conventional antituberculosis drugs combined with dexamethasone treatment (treatment group) and conventional antituberculosis drug treatment or combined with placebo treatment (control group) in TBM patients. Meta\u2010analysis was performed with Stata16.0 software. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A total of 1645 articles were retrieved, and 11 articles were finally included in the study. Meta\u2010analysis results showed that the treatment group had a significantly higher response rate and lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with the control group. Additionally, compared with the control group, the postoperative cerebrospinal fluid cell count, protein content, and glucose in the treatment group were significantly lower, while the chloride level increased. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Conventional antituberculosis drugs combined with dexamethasone therapy can improve cerebrospinal fluid cell count, protein content, glucose, and chloride levels in patients with TBM. This treatment can improve the treatment effective rate and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, which is considered an effective treatment for TBM. Our results provide strong evidence for enhancing existing treatment regimens and developing novel combination therapy to improve TBM treatment efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/2180374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]],"date-time":"2022-03-30T21:05:50Z","timestamp":1648674350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical Efficacy of Dexamethasone in the Treatment of Patients with Tuberculous Meningitis: A Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiarui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinxi","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4840-6141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qifan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmoa040573"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.175.1.579"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","first-page":"64","article-title":"Predictors of outcome in patients with tuberculous meningitis","volume":"6","author":"Hosoglu S.","year":"2002","journal-title":"International Journal of Tuberculosis & Lung Disease: The Official Journal of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cir230"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","first-page":"29","article-title":"Risk factors for in-hospital patient mortality of tuberculous meningitis","volume":"43","author":"Wu X.
