Efficacy of Somatostatin Analogues Combined With Conventional Treatment Versus Conventional Treatment For Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction: A Meta-Analysis In China
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: To assess the efficacy of somatostatin analogues combined with conventional treatment as compared to conventional treatment for adhesive intestinal obstruction. Methods: The Cochrane Library, Embase, Pubmed, Web of science, VIP, and Wanfang databases were systematically searched to select the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCT) and quasi-RCT. Study quality was assessed; relevant data were extracted. Inter-study heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q test, I 2 test, and the Galbraith figure. The source of heterogeneity was determined using subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Publication bias was tested using funnel plots; funnel plot asymmetry was tested using Egger’s and Begg’s tests. Results: Sixteen RCT including 1460 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The somatostatin group had obvious advantages in: (1) duration of abdominal pain and abdominal distension; (2) time of abdominal pain relief; (3) gastrointestinal decompression drainage amount; (4) hospitalization time. Following subgroup analysis based on somatostatin administration routes, i.e., subcutaneous injection and intravenous infusion, the somatostatin group had advantages for: (5) rate of conversion to surgery; (6) rate of effectiveness. The two groups had identical time of abdominal distension relief. Conclusions: Somatostatin analogues combined with conventional treatment is superior to conventional treatment alone for intestinal obstruction.
