Efficacy and safety of platelet‐rich plasma in treating cutaneous ulceration: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract: Summary Background The biological mechanisms underlying the use of platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), as well as the efficacy and possible adverse effects of PRP, have not yet been fully elucidated. Prior studies have evaluated PRP for cutaneous ulceration. However, the benefits from PRP still remain controversial and few have assessed the effects of ulceration etiologies. The purpose of our study is to determine the efficacy and safety of PRP and which kind of ulcer is more suitable for PRP by analyzing the effects … Show more

“…25 The most recent meta-analyses and review articles have highlighted the therapeutic potential of PRP in chronic wounds with demonstrated benefits in several clinical outcomes, notably complete wound closure, wound surface reduction, scar reduction, and a lowering of incidence of infections. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] The clinical results of PRP effectiveness in the treatment of DFU are promising considering, however, that the costs associated with treating DFUs with PRP are presumably higher than using standard therapy. Therefore, the implementation of this therapeutic approach in health systems should be based on its cost-effectiveness.…”
