Identifying the Superior Reperfusion Technique in Liver Transplantation: A Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the clinical effects of different reperfusion techniques in liver transplantation based on network meta-analysis.

Method

Literature retrieval was conducted in globally recognized databases, namely, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central, to address relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the clinical effects of respective reperfusion techniques in liver transplantation. Short- and long-term parametric data, including ICU stay, dysfunction rate (DFR), biliary complications (BC), 1-year graft survival (GS), and patient survival (PS), were quantitatively pooled and estimated based on the Bayesian theorem. The P values of surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) probabilities regarding each parameter were calculated and ranke
