Meta-analysis was applied and suggested that the treatment effects were moderately heterogeneous {Chi-square = 6.18 [degrees of freedom (d.f.) = 4]; p = 0.186; I² = 35.2%}, with the pooled risk ratio (RR) of 1.77 [95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.01, 3.11], i.e., the chance of wound healing was 20% significantly higher with MWT than CWT. The average costs of treatment in patients with DFU were lower in the MWT group than in the CWT group, with medians of US$292.82 and US$490, respectively. Conclusion: Our evidence suggests that MWT is significantly better for wound healing and more cost-effective than CWT. An updated meta-analysis or large scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) is required to confirm this effect.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:46 AEDT ]]> Hemoglobin concentration and pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19422 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:58 AEDT ]]> Diagnostic scores for appendicitis: a systematic review of scores' performance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19321 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:55 AEDT ]]> Mesh fixation technique in totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair - a network meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47783 Mon 30 Jan 2023 14:03:27 AEDT ]]> Comparison of postoperative complications between open and laparoscopic appendectomy: An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41100 Mon 25 Jul 2022 10:38:22 AEST ]]> Mesh position for hernia prophylaxis after midline laparotomy: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40756 Mon 18 Jul 2022 13:47:16 AEST ]]>
