PURPOSE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread joint disease characterized by the gradual loss of cartilage. Intra-articular injections, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are commonly used for treatment, but the optimal PRP preparation method remains debated. This study aims to perform a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to compare the efficacy of different PRP preparation methods and determine the most effective protocols. METHODS: The literature search was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating intra-articular injectables in osteoarthritic knees were included. Data were extracted, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were analyzed at 3, 6, and 12-18 months. Clinical outcomes were compared using a frequentist network meta-analysis, and treatment options were ranked using the P-Score. Statistical analysis was performed using R 4.3.2. RESULTS: Twenty-three RCTs with 1752 patients were included. Treatments included PRP, plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF), leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP), leukocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP), hyaluronic acid (HA), and saline placebo. Leukocyte-rich PRP with low platelet concentration increase, using both anticoagulant and activator showed the best effects on WOMAC pain and stiffness scores within 6 months (WMD = 26.02; 95% CrI, 0.92-52.46). Leukocyte-poor PRP with high platelet concentration increase, using anticoagulant without activator was most effective for WOMAC function and stiffness at 12-18 months (WMD = 18.94; 95% CrI, 8.34-28.12). Long-term results indicated Leukocyte-poor PRP with low platelet concentration increase, using anticoagulant without activator yielded the best outcomes for cartilage repair and function (WMD = 17.09; 95% CrI, -8.4 to 42.78). CONCLUSIONS: Optimizing OA treatment involves tailoring PRP protocols to disease stage, with low platelet, high leukocyte PRP (RPRP_LPC_Y_Y) recommended for early OA due to its anti-inflammatory effects and high platelet, low leukocyte PRP (PPRP-HPC) preferred for advanced OA to promote tissue repair and regeneration.
目的:骨关节炎(OA)是一种常见的关节疾病,其特征是软骨逐渐丧失。包括富血小板血浆(PRP)在内的关节内注射常用于治疗,但最佳的PRP制备方法仍存在争议。本研究旨在对随机对照试验进行网状Meta分析,以比较不同PRP制备方法的疗效,并确定最有效的方案。 方法:根据PRISMA指南进行文献检索。纳入评估骨关节炎膝关节关节内注射剂的随机对照试验(RCT)。提取数据,并在3、6和12 - 18个月时分析西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)评分。使用频率学派网状Meta分析比较临床结局,并使用P值对治疗方案进行排序。使用R 4.3.2进行统计分析。 结果:纳入了23项RCT,共1752例患者。治疗方法包括PRP、富含生长因子的血浆(PRGF)、低白细胞PRP(LP - PRP)、高白细胞PRP(LR - PRP)、透明质酸(HA)和生理盐水安慰剂。血小板浓度增加低的高白细胞PRP,同时使用抗凝剂和激活剂,在6个月内对WOMAC疼痛和僵硬评分显示出最佳效果(加权均数差[WMD]=26.02;95%可信区间[CrI],0.92 - 52.46)。血小板浓度增加高的低白细胞PRP,使用抗凝剂但不使用激活剂,在12 - 18个月时对WOMAC功能和僵硬最有效(WMD = 18.94;95% CrI,8.34 - 28.12)。长期结果表明,血小板浓度增加低的低白细胞PRP,使用抗凝剂但不使用激活剂,在软骨修复和功能方面产生最佳结果(WMD = 17.09;95% CrI,-8.4至42.78)。 结论:优化OA治疗需要根据疾病阶段调整PRP方案,由于其抗炎作用,低血小板、高白细胞PRP(RPRP_LPC_Y_Y)推荐用于早期OA,而高血小板、低白细胞PRP(PPRP - HPC)则更适合晚期OA以促进组织修复和再生。
