Abstract:

Objective The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the effect of extracorporeal hemopurification (EH) for clinical prognosis, and the association between EH-related cytokines levels and clinical prognosis for septic patients. Methods Available studies accessing the effect of extracorporeal hemopurification for septic patients were collected from Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Internet between January 2010 and January 2020. Relationships between EH and in-hospital mortality (IHM) and length of intensive care unit in sepsis patients were calculated and systematically analyzed by Forest Plot in Review Manager 5.3. We further analyzed the correlation between changing of cytokine levels and clinical prognosis. Results Twenty-eight researches which covered a total of 2587 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that EH (hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, hemoadsorption, cytosorb, et. al) could significantly decrease IHM (OR=0.83, P=0.04) without affecting the length of intensive care unit (OR=-0.50, P=0.69). Subgroup analysis suggested that High-volume Hemofltration or Hemoperfusion with Polymyxin B-immobilized cartridge failed to improve IHM (P=0.22; P=0.87); meanwhile, EH showed little therapy efficiency in severe burn septic patients or septic patients with acute kidney injury (P=0.08; P=0.77). During the whole EH period, septic patients with lower cytokine levels at last presented no benefit for a lower risk of IHM (P=0.48), but the length of intensive care unit was significantly decreased (OR=-17.58, P=0.04). Conclusion Routine EH is recommended for septic patients with no contraindication. Controlling relative levels of cytokines during the whole treatment is a useful way to shorten the length of intensive care unit.
