Tear Film Stability After Primary Pterygium Excision Combined with Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation is Superior to Amniotic Membrane Transplantation: A Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Purpose To evaluate the tear film stability after primary pterygium excision combined with Limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) or amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). Methods We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wan Fang and VIP databases for all studies on tear film stability after primary pterygium excision combined with LSCT or AMT. The mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for outcomes using the fixed effect or random effect model.R… Show more
