Methods to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements for liver transplantation

Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

  1. The risk of bias domains were updated according to The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.1.0 (Higgins 2011).

  2. Network analysis was performed in addition to routine meta‐analysis.

  3. Fisher's exact test was used when there was only one trial included in the comparison of a binary outcome between two groups.

  4. In the protocol we mentioned that the proportion of patients who developed mortality in the control group will be based on the overall proportion of patients who died in this systematic review. However the trials included included those more than 15 years old and there has been significant decrease in the mortality over this period (ELTR 2011). So, we based our trial sequential calculations based on an approximation of the ELTR data (ELTR 2011).
