Abstract:

Objective

To compare the efficacy of three different desensitization therapies in ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABO-ILT) by meta-analysis.

Methods

The recipients were divided into three groups according to the different desensitization protocal: (rituximab+ TPE/PP) group, rituximab group; (rituximab+ IVIG) group, ABO-compatible liver transplantation (ABO-CLT) group. Different incidence rate of events were compared. Studies published during January 2003 and May 20, 2018 were electronically retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluated the the quality of literature. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate OR and 95% confidence interval by using the random effect model analyses with WinBUGS 14.3 software. Statistical significance was approved when P<0.05.

Results

Nine studies were selected. No statistical significance was observed in the postoperative 1- and 3-year survival rate of the recipients, incidence of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), incidence of acute cellular rejection (ACR), incidence of postoperative diffuse intrahepatic biliary stricture and non-intrahepatic biliary tract complications among 4 groups (P all>0.05). The SUCRA value of ACR of (rituximab+ TPE/PP) group, rituximab group, (rituximab+ IVIG) group were 0.3562, 0.7767 and 0.7092, which were all higher than ABO-CLT group (P all>0.05). No small sample effect was observerd among the above desensitization therapies.

Conclusions

The desensitization therapeutic effects between rituximab combined with TPE/PP and rituximab combined with IVIG was similar. Rituximab combined with IVIG can be perforned for emergent ABO-ILT. Rituximab monotherapy is proper when there is sufficient time and economy burden.
