ObjectiveTo compare the impact of early enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) on the postoperative efficacy of esophageal cancer through meta-analysis of relevant randomized controlled trial (RCT).MethodsPubMed, Medline, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc) were searched by computer from inception to April 2018 to identify potential RCT which assessed clinical efficacy between EN and PN for postoperative patients with esophageal cancer. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently screened and evaluated literature. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 30 RCT studies were selected, including 3 969 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: there was a significant difference between EN and PN in postoperative anastomotic fistulas (I2=0%, OR=0.67, 95%CI 0.45-0.99, P=0.04), postoperative pulmonary infections (I2=0%, OR=0.42, 95%CI 0.32-0.55, P<0.000 1), postoperative albumin levels (I2=38%, MD=0.78, 95%CI 0.51-1.06, P<0.000 01),time of first anal exhaust after operation (I2=0%, MD=–23.16, 95%CI –25.16-21.16, P<0.000 01) and postoperative incision infection (I2=0%, RR=0.36, 95%CI 0.21-0.64, P=0.000 5).ConclusionCompared with PN, early EN can significantly reduce the incidence of major postoperative complications and shorten the time of first anal exhaust after surgery. In addition, EN is superior to PN in improving nutritional status, increasing weight and reducing costs and side effects.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed were searched to collect published literature on risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after OPCABG from inception to September 2022. Two authors independently screened, extracted data and evaluated the quality. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and Stata 12.0 and RevMan 5.4 softwares were used for meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 18 researches were included, including 6 354 patients of OPCABG. The NOS scores of the included studies were 6-8 points. Meta-analysis showed that age [MD=2.56, 95%CI (1.61, 3.52), P<0.001], hypertension [OR=1.77, 95%CI (1.18, 2.66), P<0.001], EuroSCORE Ⅱ score [MD=0.70, 95%CI (0.34, 1.06), P<0.001], frequent atrial premature beats or atrial tachycardia [OR=3.77, 95%CI (2.13, 6.68), P<0.001], left atrium diameter (LAD) [MD=1.64, 95%CI (0.26, 3.03), P=0.010], left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) [MD=−1.84, 95%CI (−2.85, −0.83), P<0.001], right coronary stenosis [OR=2.49, 95%CI (1.29, 4.81), P=0.006], three-vessel coronary artery lesions [OR=0.73, 95%CI (0.54, 0.97), P=0.030], not using β blockers [OR=0.81, 95%CI (0.69, 0.96), P=0.010], operation time [MD=10.13, 95%CI (8.15, 12.10), P<0.001], duration of mechanical ventilation [OR=2.85, 95%CI (1.79, 3.91), P<0.001] were risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after OPCABG. ConclusionAdvanced age, hypertension, high EuroSCOREⅡ score, frequent atrial premature beats or atrial tachycardia, increased LAD, decreased LVEF, right coronary stenosis, three-vessel coronary artery lesions, not using β blockers, prolonged operation time and mechanical ventilation are risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after OPCABG. Due to factors such as the methodology, content and quality of the included literature, the conclusion of this study need to be supported by more high-quality studies.
