Eligibility Criteria
Data will be abstracted from every study in the form of a risk estimate and its 95% confidence interval (C1). Pooled risk estimate will be obtained by weighting each study by the inverse variance of the effect measure on algorithmic scale. This approach to pooling the results assumes that the study population being compared are similar and hence correspond to affixed effect analysis. The validity of pooling the risk estimate will be tested (test of homogeneity) using the chi-square test. A violation of this test implies that the studies being grouped differ from one another. In the presence of significant heterogeneity of the effect measure among studies being compared,
You may qualify if:
- Search for and assess studies comparing local injections of PRP compared to any control for AGA.
- Studies to be included in this review will be matched with predetermined criteria according to the PICOS (patients, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) approach.
- These studies must include patients with any age and stage of AGA , with a minimum of 10 patients, a minimum of 3 months follow -up.
- Local injection of any autologous of PRP preparation into the scalp of AGA patients for treatment of AGA.
- Measure the efficacy of PRP therapy for treatment of AGA.
You may not qualify if:
- Review, expert opinion, comments, letter to editor, case reports, studies on animals, conference reports will be excluded from the study.
- Studies of other types of alopecia (i.e., alopecia areata or cicatricial alopecia) or studies with less than 10 patients, follow up less than 3 months or with no outcome reported, will be excluded from the study.
