Splenic function after angioembolization for @entity130 in XXXX and adults: A systematic review.

@entity1 @entity281 @entity1416 @entity130
PURPOSE: @entity1416 ( @entity1416 ), proximal or distal, is becoming the standard of care for traumatic @entity130 . Theoretically the immunological function of the spleen may be preserved, but this has not yet been proven. A parameter for measuring the remaining splenic function must therefore be determined in order to decide whether or not vaccinations and/or antibiotic prophylaxis are necessary to prevent an overwhelming @entity281 (OPSI). METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed July 2015 by searching the Embase and Medline databases. Articles were eligible if they described at least two @entity130 @entity1 and the subject was splenic function. Description of procedure and/or success rate of @entity1416 was not necessary for inclusion. Two reviewers independently assessed the eligibility and the quality of the articles and performed the data extraction. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included, eleven with adult @entity1 and one focusing on @entity1 . All studies used different parameters to assess splenic function. None of them reported a @entity281 . Eleven studies found a preserved splenic function after @entity1416 , in both adults and @entity1 . CONCLUSION: All but one studies on the long term effects of @entity1416 indicate a preserved splenic function. However, there is still no single parameter or test available which can demonstrate that unequivocally.
