Abstract EN
Background.
Liver allograft preservation frequently involves static cold storage (CS) and machine perfusion (MP).
With its increasing popularity, we investigated whether MP was superior to CS in terms of beneficial outcomes.
Methods.
Human studies and large animal studies that optimized livers for transplantation using MP versus CS were assessed (PubMed/Medline/EMBASE).
Meta-analyses were conducted for comparisons.
Study quality was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale and SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool.
Results.
Nineteen studies were included.
Among the large animal studies, lower levels of lactate dehydrogenase (SMD -3.16, 95% CI -5.14 to -1.18), alanine transferase (SMD -2.46, 95% CI -4.03 to -0.90), and hyaluronic acid (SMD -2.48, 95% CI -4.21 to -0.74) were observed in SNMP-preserved compared to CS-preserved livers.
NMP-preserved livers showing lower level of hyaluronic acid (SMD -3.97, 95% CI -5.46 to -2.47) compared to CS-preserved livers.
Biliary complications (RR 0.45, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.73) and early graft dysfunction (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.92) also significantly reduced with HMP preservation in human studies.
No evidence of publication bias was found.
Conclusions.
MP preservation could improve short-term outcomes after transplantation compared to CS preservation.
Additional randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to develop clinical applications of MP preservation.
