Meta Analysis
Assisted therapy with platelet-rich plasma for burn patients: A meta-analysis and systematic review.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been used in different medical fields, but its effectiveness in burn wound healing remains debatable. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available evidence on burn patients treated with PRP to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment. ⋯ PRP application can accelerate wound closure, however, it has no effect on the rates of wound infection and graft take rate.
