This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the reports of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of sepsis in recent years, providing evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods: The databases of PubMed, Chinese Medical Literature (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Medline, and Web of Science were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to "Chinese traditional medicine" and "Sepsis" published from January 2015 to August 2021.After screening qualified articles, RevMan 5.4 software was used to evaluate the bias of included studies and perform meta-analysis.Results: Finally, 8 articles were retrieved and screened, and a total of 862 patients entered the study. The results of meta-analysis showed that serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were lower in sepsis patients after
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
