Abstract:Objective To analyze the risk factors of delayed postpolypectomy bleeding (DPPB).Methods CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for studies that investigated the risk factors for DPPB. The selected literature was evaluated according to the Cochrane Systematic Review Manual. The selected articles were analyzed by RevMan 5.3.5.Results Colorectal DPPB was higher in males than that in females (O = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.12~1.72, P = 0.002); Patients with hypertension and diabetes were incresed risk of colorectal DPPB (O = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.07~3.00, P = 0.030; O = 0.53,95%CI: 0.38~0.75,P = 0.000); The polyps' diameter larger than 1 cm are more likely to have colorectal DPPB (O = 0.35, 95%CI: 0.21~0.59, P = 0.000); The risk of colorectal DPPB in pedicled polyps was higher than in sessile polyps (O = 2.37, 95%CI: 1.12~5.00, P = 0.020); Patients with adenomatous polyps were more likely to have colorectal DPPB (O = 3.02, 95%CI: 1.81~5.03, P = 0.000).Conclusion Meta-analysis showed that male, hypertension, diabetes, polyps' diameter, polyps' morphology and pathological type were risk factors for colorectal DPPB.
