Effects of Aspirin on Kidney Biopsy Bleeding Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PROSPERO 2021 CRD42021261005).

ABSTRACT: Postprocedural bleeding is the main complication of percutaneous kidney biopsy (PKB). Therefore, aspirin is routinely withheld in patients undergoing PKB to reduce the bleeding risk. The authors aimed to examine the association between aspirin use and bleeding during PKB. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The article search was performed on MEDLINE and Scopus using queries specific to each database. Article inclusion was limited to primary studies. The meta-analysis compared the risk of major bleeding events between the aspirin-exposed versus nonexposed group. Pooled effect estimate was examined using random effects presented as odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Hete
