    ObjectiveTo explore whether endoscopy surgery (ES) and extraventricular drainage (EVD) combined with intraventricular fibrinolytic (IVF) are superior to EVD alone in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and to determine which procedure is more suitable in such patients.MethodsWe searched the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized studies comparing ≥2 different interventions in patients with IVH were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed. Pairwise and network meta-analysis were performed using software Stata 13.0 and Revman 5.3.ResultsCompared with the EVD-alone intervention, the ES regimen, EVD combined with urokinase (UK), and EVD combined with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) regimens all resulted in better survival and prognosis in patients with IVH. For both survival rate and prognosis, the order from best to worst was ES, EVD combined with UK, EVD combined with rt-PA, and EVD-alone. However, EVD combined with IVF had a high risk of intracranial rebleeding; the order of intracranial rebleeding risk from lowest to highest was ES, EVD-alone, EVD combined with rt-PA, and EVD combined with UK. The risk of intracranial infection in EVD combined with rt-PA was lower than that of EVD-alone, but EVD combined with UK also had a higher risk than did EVD-alone. The risk of intracranial infection from lowest to the highest was ES, EVD combined with rt-PA, EVD-alone, and EVD combined with UK.ConclusionsOur analysis showed that ES is more suitable for patients with IVH. ES not only improved the survival and prognosis but also had the lowest risk of ventriculoperitoneal shunt and intracranial rebleeding or infection.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
