Abstract:
:This study was aimed to evaluate whether silver-containing dressings were superior to other types of dressings in the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLU) and their specific advantages.Eight databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid-Medline, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were systematically reviewed from inception to May 2019 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The primary outcome was complete wound healing, and the secondary outcomes included absolute wound size changes (change of cm area since baseline), relative changes (percentage change of area relative to baseline), and healing rate. Two reviewers independently evaluated the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration assessment tool and extracted the data according to the predesigned table. All analyses were performed using the latest Review Manager Software (version 5.3).A total of 8 studies qualified and were included in the meta-analysis, including 1057 patients (experiment: 526, control: 531). Both complete wound healing and wound healing rates were reported in 5 studies. Two and 3 studies reported the effect of silver dressings on absolute and relative wound size changes, respectively. Most of the studies used intention-to-treat analysis.There was sufficient evidence that silver-containing dressings can accelerate the healing rate of chronic VLU and improve their healing in a short duration of time. However, compared with other dressings, clinical trials with long-term follow-up data are needed to confirm whether silver dressings have advantages regarding complete wound healing.
