Quality issues identified in systematic reviews on platelet-rich plasma therapy for pattern hair loss-A method study.

Background: Systematic reviews of healthcare interventions aim to evaluate the quality of clinical studies, but they might have quality issues in their own right.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate methodological inconsistencies in systematic reviews.

Methods: We searched the database MEDLINE and included systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses on platelet-rich plasma therapy for pattern hair loss.

Early laser intervention to reduce scar formation in wound healing by primary intention: A systematic review.

Background: Hypertrophic scars frequently follow primary closure of surgical wounds. Laser application at or shortly after suture may be associated with a reduction in scar formation, although the respective study results vary.

Aim: The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of early laser applied within the first six months after surgery to reduce scar formation compared to no treatment.

Autologous platelet-rich plasma therapy for pattern hair loss: A systematic review.

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern and female pattern hair loss) is characterized by thinning of the scalp hair. Intradermal injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) might have an effect on hair regrowth.

Aims: The aim was to evaluate efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma compared to placebo or no treatment in people with pattern hair loss.
