Analgesic Efficacy of Ropivacaine Infiltration on Early Post-Tonsillectomy Pain in Pediatrics.

Objective: To assess the analgesic efficacy of ropivacaine infiltration in the tonsillar fossa among pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy.

Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL.

Review Methods: Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed for bias using Cochrane's risk of bias tool (version 2).

Coblation tonsillectomy versus laser tonsillectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated coblation versus laser (carbon dioxide and diode) tonsillectomy, with regard to various surgical and clinical outcomes.

Methods: We searched PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant from inception until March 2021. We evaluated risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration Tool.

Intraoperative local injection of uterosacral ligaments with ropivacaine during uterine surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials that examined the efficacy of intraoperative local injection of the uterosacral ligaments with ropivacaine on postoperative pain and opioids consumption in patients undergoing uterine surgery for hysterectomy/myomectomy.

Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were screened from inception to September 5th, 2020. We appraised the risk of bias using the Cochrane's risk of bias tool.

Ropivacaine versus lidocaine infiltration for postpartum perineal pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To systematically and meta-analytically examine the efficacy of ropivacaine versus lidocaine infiltration for controlling postpartum perineal pain secondary to spontaneous tear or selective episiotomy.

Methods: We searched four databases from inception to 20-September-2020. We included all relevant randomized and nonrandomized studies and assessed their risk of bias.

The Effect of Iron Supplementation on FGF23 in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: a Systematic Review and Time-Response Meta-Analysis.

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) gene is found to be responsible for autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, and is highly expressed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). We evaluated the efficacy of different iron treatments on FGF23 levels in dialysis-dependent and non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients with IDA. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different types of iron treatment versus placebo in CKD patients up to May 2020.

Efficacy and safety of topical clascoterone cream for treatment of acne vulgaris: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials.

To systematically and meta-analytically pool evidence from randomized placebo-controlled trials that examined the efficacy and safety of topical clascoterone cream in patients with acne vulgaris. Four databases were screened from inception to 10 October 2020. Included studies were assessed for risk of bias.
