| Abstract | Background: The wounds failing to heal through a timely and orderly standard of care (SOC) treatment are considered as chronic wounds, which add significant burden to healthcare systems around the world. SOC treatment has been commonly applied for management of chronic wounds, but SOC alone may not be adequate to heal all ulcers effectively. Fish skin graft (FSG) is a xenogenic skin substitute which could be used for accelerating skin healing. The current study was performed with the view of evaluating the effectiveness of FSG as an adjuvant treatment of SOC for chronic ulcer treatment. Methods: Two authors independently searched the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL, using keywords including "diabetic foot ulcer," "fish skin graft," and "wound healing." Clinical studies that evaluated the clinical outcomes of FSG in treatment of chronic ulcers were included in this meta-analysis. Random- or fixed-effect modeled meta-analyses were performed according to the heterogeneity test result (i.e., I Results: A total of 8 studies were included in qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis, with 145 patients treated by SOC and 245 patients treated by SOC plus FSG. There was no significant difference between two groups for time to healing (MD = 1.99, 95% CI: -3.70~7.67, p = 0.493). The complete healing rate was significantly higher in FSG group compared with SOC alone (OR = 3.44, 95% CI: 2.03~5.82, p < 0.001***). Mean percentage area reduction (PAR) was reported in six studies, with a range of 71.6~97.3%. However, many of these studies did not report the value of standard deviation (SD), so we could not pool the data. No significantly different ulcer recurrence rate (RR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.07~5.27, p = 0.645) and severe adverse events (SAEs) risk (RR = 1.67, 95% CI: 0.42~6.61, p = 0.467) were found between two groups. Conclusions: The application of FSG treatment for patients with chronic ulcers that do not respond well to SOC management could significantly increase the complete healing rate compared with SOC alone, without increased recurrence rate and SAEs risk. |
