Educational interventions improve disparities in patient access to kidney transplantation: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Transplantation significantly improves the quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease. Despite various educational strategies being assessed, the optimal approach to overcome barriers to kidney transplantation remains unclear.

Materials And Methods: The authors conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing educational interventions to improve kidney transplantation access.

Comparing cryoprecipitate-poor plasma to fresh frozen plasma as replacement therapy in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: An updated meta-analysis.

Background: Cryoprecipitate-poor plasma (CPP) has been suggested as a promising alternative to the standard fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in plasma exchange therapy (TPE) for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) given its lower concentrations of von Willebrand Factor (VWF). However, its efficacy and safety remain a topic of debate.

Study Design And Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing CPP to FFP during TPE in patients with TTP.
