Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Various kinds of dressings for diabetic foot have been developed, among which, silver dressing has been widely used, but no conclusion has been reached yet.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of silver dressing in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers by a Meta-analysis.
METHODS: A systematic search of literatures in PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang from inception to March 2018 was conducted. The quality of the literatures was appraised and data were extracted by two researchers independently. Meta-analysis was then conducted for the included literatures.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 7 randomized controlled trials involving 642 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the wound healing rate of silver dressing group was significantly higher than that of the other dressing groups [odds ratio (OR)=2.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.57, 3.48), P < 0.000 1], epithelial formation time was significantly shorter than that of other dressing groups [mean difference (MD)=-2.22, 95% CI (-2.77, -1.66), P < 0.000 01], occurrence time of granulation tissue was significantly shorter than that of the other dressing groups[MD=-2.84, 95% CI (-3.26, -2.41), P < 0.000 01], wound healing time was significantly shorter than that of the other dressing groups [MD=-11.13, 95% CI (-19.87, -2.39), P=0.01]. Overall, silver dressing can promote the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
