RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the difference of phlebitis induced by Alprostadil injection with different ad-ministration routes,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical rational use. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EM-Base,Cochrane Library,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database,RCTs about phlebitis induced by Alprostadil injection with dif-ferent administration routes were collected. Meta-analysis was conducted by Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after literature screen-ing,data extraction and quality evaluation according to Cochrane System Evaluator's Manual 5.1.0. RESULTS:A total of 20 RCTs were included,involving 2562 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of phlebitis induced by intravenous injection was significantly higher than that induced by intravenous dripping [OR=4.11,95%CI(1.59,10.67),P=0.004] and intrave-nous pump [OR=3.50,95%CI(1.50,8.16),P=0.004]. The incidence of phlebitis induced by general apparatus infusion was signifi-cantly higher than that induced by fine filtering infusion [OR=0.03,95%CI(0.01,0.08),P<0.001],with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of phlebitis induced by low-concentration of Alprostadil injection or fine filtering infusion is low-er,and that of intravenous injection is higher.
