ObjectiveTo compare the disinfection effect of peracetic acid versus glutaraldehyde in disinfection of flexible endoscope, and provide suggestions for choosing endoscopic disinfectant.MethodsWe searched literatures in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database and VIP database, with the retrieval time from the establishment of each database to July 2017, screening and comparing the disinfection qualification rate of peroxyacetic acid versus glutaraldehyde in immersion disinfection of flexible endoscope. The number of flexible endoscopies after disinfection was the main effect index, and a fixed effect model analysis was performed.ResultsSix comparative studies were enrolled in this Meta-analysis, with a total of 786 flexible endoscopes. The result of Meta-analysis showed that the qualification rate of disinfection of peracetic acid was higher than that of glutaraldehyde with the same disinfection time [relative risk=1.09, 95% confidence interval (1.06, 1.13), P<0.000 01].ConclusionThe disinfection effect of peroxyacetic acid immersion method is better than that of glutaraldehyde.
