Input: We included ten trials in which 652 patients were randomised. The risk of bias was considered high in most trials. There was no significant effect of prostaglandins on all-cause mortality (37/298[12.4%] in prostaglandin group versus 47/312[15.1%] in control group; OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.37; I2 = 0%), on primary non-function of the allograft (8/238 [3.4%] versus. 16/250[6.4%] ;OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.33; I2 = 0%), and on liver re-transplantation (12/161[7.5%] versus 14/171[8.2%]; OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.44 to 2.25; I2 = 0%). Prostaglandins seemed to significantly decrease the risk of acute kidney failure requiring dialysis (13/158[8.2%] versus 34/171[9.9%]; OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.75; I2 = 0%). There was no significant increase in the risk of adverse events with prostaglandins. We found no evidence that the administration of prostaglandins to liver transplanted patients reduces the risk of death, primary non-function of the allograft, or liver re-transplantation. Prostaglandins might reduce the risk of acute kidney failure requiring dialysis, but the quality of the evidence is considered only moderate due to high risk of bias in most of the included trials. Moreover, there are risks of outcome measure reporting bias and random errors. Therefore, further randomised, placebo-controlled trials are deemed necessary.
Output:

This review summarised and meta-analysed the evidence from randomised clinical trials on the effect of prostaglandins for adult liver transplanted patients. We found ten trials randomising 652 patients. Evidence from these trials is inconclusive on the role of prostaglandins regarding outcomes such as death or liver re-transplantation. The risk of acute kidney failure requiring dialysis may be reduced by two thirds if a liver transplant patient receives prostaglandins, although the level of evidence is only moderate due to risks of systematic errors (bias) and random errors (play of chance). No severe adverse events are reported. Therefore, further randomised trials with low risk of bias and sufficient sample sizes are still needed to establish whether prostaglandins should be administered for liver transplanted patients.
