Identifying an effective Chinese herbal medicine for reducing postoperative hidden bleeding and stabilizing blood volume following intertrochanteric femur fracture: a Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is extensively utilized in managing hidden bleeding following an intertrochanteric femur fracture (IFF). Despite its widespread use, the most effective CHM approach for addressing hidden bleeding post-IFF remains unclear. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to identify a CHM that both effectively reduces hidden bleeding and stabilizes blood volume after IFF.

Methods

Comprehensive electronic searches were performed on databases in both Chinese and English, including the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) employing CHM to address hi
