Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia y seguridad del uso de agonistas del GLP-1 (GLP-1A) en mujeres con sobrepeso/obesidad que planean un embarazo. Métodos: Se trata de una revisión sistemática, cuyos ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (ECA) fueron obtenidos en las bases de datos National Library of Medicine, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud y Ovid Cochrane Central RegisterofControlledTrials, filtrados con el software Rayyan y evaluados según el esquema propuesto por Jadad et al. (1996). Resultados: Los ECA que conformaron la muestra abordan desenlaces metabólicos/reproductivos sobre el uso de GLP-1A en mujeres con sobrepeso/obesidad en el período previo a la gestación. Solo tres estudios abordaron las reacciones adversas obstétricas. En dichos estudios, los GLP-1A fueron descritos como seguros y asociados a una menor frecuencia de eventos adversos. Además, el uso de agonistas del GLP-1 demostró una mayor eficacia cuando se asoció con otros medicamentos utilizados para mejorar las funciones metabólicas y reproductivas en esta población. Consideraciones finales: A pesar de la variedad terapéutica y de los indiscutibles beneficios metabólicos y reproductivos de la terapia con GLP-1A en mujeres con sobrepeso/obesidad en planificación familiar, el número de ECA que abordan los desenlaces de seguridad obstétrica es reducido y, en su mayoría, presentan una muestra pequeña, manteniendo el impasse en la implementación de esta terapia.
