OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of aspirin versus other anticoagulants in the prevention of thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang data and VIP, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies about aspirin (trial group) versus other anticoagulants (control group) were collected during the inception and June 1st, 2023. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, the meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 22 studies were included, involving 9 RCTs and 13 cohort studies. RCT results showed that the incidences of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) [RR=1.81, 95%CI(1.36, 2.40), P<0.000 1] and postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) [RR=1.55, 95%CI(1.01, 2.40), P=0.05] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidences of postoperative massive bleeding, postoperative surgical site infection, all-cause death, or any bleeding after surgery between 2 groups. In the cohort study, the incidence of any bleeding in trial group was significantly lower than control group [RR=0.71,95%CI (0.64, 0.79), P<0.000 1], while the differences in other indicators were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The results of subgroup analysis based on different anticoagulants showed that in RCT, the incidences of DVT and PE after surgery in patients using low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) were significantly lower than using aspirin (P<0.05); in the cohort study, the incidences of DVT and PE after surgery were significantly lower in patients using direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) than using aspirin (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of major bleeding between patients using aspirin and using DOAC and LWMH (P>0.05) in both RCT and cohort study. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin is equally safe as other anticoagulants for the prevention of thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery, but its efficacy may not be as good as other anticoagulants. After orthopedic surgery, other anticoagulants should be preferred to prevent venous thromboembolism, and aspirin should be carefully considered.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) on neonatal outcomes after cesarean section.Methods:Chinese and English databases (including CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine Disc, VIP, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) and ClinicalTrials.gov were retrieved from the inception to July 2023. Randomized controlled trials regarding UCM in neonates from different races who were born by cesarean section were included. The outcomes were postnatal hemoglobin level, hematocrit value, peak serum bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH value, intraventricular hemorrhage, death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score. The risk of bias among the included studies was confined to low or possible risk according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool 2.0. RevMan5.3 was used for meta-analysis, and subgroup analysis was performed among neonates with different gestational ages. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the grades of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) framework.Results:A total of 11 articles involving 2 347 neonates (1 322 full-term and 1 025 preterm infants) were included. Meta-analysis results showed that: (1) Compared with the immediate cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=1.40, 95% CI: 1.11-1.70, Z=9.32; MD=0.86, 95% CI: 0.69-1.02, Z=10.02, both P<0.01), hematocrit value within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=2.73, 95% CI: 0.18-5.29, Z=2.09, P=0.04; MD=3.57, 95% CI: 2.29-4.85, Z=5.46, P<0.01). However, no significant differences were found in the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH, and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min (all P>0.05). (2) Compared with delayed cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level ( MD=0.83, 95% CI: 0.75-0.91, Z=20.11, P<0.01) and hematocrit value ( MD=2.34, 95% CI: 1.25-3.43, Z=4.20, P<0.01) within 24 h after birth, but not in the hematocrit value at 48-72 h after birth ( MD=-0.38, 95% CI:-2.27-1.52, Z=0.39, P=0.70) or the peak bilirubin level ( MD=-0.65, 95% CI:-2.16-1.04, Z=0.69, P=0.49). Sensitivity analysis showed that for full-term neonates born by cesarean section, the peak bilirubin level in the UCM group was significantly lower than that in the delayed cord clamping group ( MD=-1.30, 95% CI:-2.26-0.34, Z=2.66, P<0.01). Still, the incidence of phototherapy, intraventricular hemorrhage (grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ), death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min showed no statistical differences (all P>0.05). Conclusions:UCM could increase the short-term postnatal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in neonates born by cesarean section, which might prevent neonatal anemia in the short term without increasing the adverse neonatal outcomes. Little effects were observed on the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, polycythemia, etc. More high-quality and large-sample randomized controlled trials are needed in the future.
