The outcomes of interest were the incidence rate of surgery, the length of hospital days and mortality. The quality of the included studies, publication bias and between-study heterogeneity were also assessed.RESULTS Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and three retrospective cohort studies were selected for analysis. In the three RCTs, Daikenchuto signifcantly reduced the incidence of surgery (pOR = 0.13; 95%CI: 0.03-0.50). Similarly, Daikenchuto signifcantly reduced the incidence of surgery (pOR = 0.53; 95%CI: 0.32-0.87) in the three cohort studies. The length of hospital stay and mortality were not measured or described consistently.CONCLUSIONThe present meta-analysis demonstrates that admini-stering Daikenchuto is associated with a lower incidence of surgery for patients with postoperative ASBO in the Japanese population. In order to better generalize these results, additional studies will be needed.展开更多
