Abstract

Background:Liver cirrhosis is a common clinical chronic progressive disease. Due to the obstruction of blood flow after cirrhosis, it leads to long-term congestion of splenic sinus, hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and proliferation of splenic myeloid cells, resulting in hepatocirrhosis and splenomegaly. At present, western medicine still uses splenectomy and interventional therapy are the main treatment, but the adverse reactions are more and the curative effect is not good. Many clinical trials have proved that Traditional Chinese medicine has a great therapeutic effect on Hepatocirrhosis with splenomegaly, which can effectively delay the development of the disease and improve the survival rate of patients. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of hepatocirrhosis with splenomegaly.Methods:The databases of Pubmed, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WANFANG Data), Weipu Information Chinese Periodical Service Platform (VIP), and China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed) will be searched online to collect randomized controlled trials related to the treatment of hepatocirrhosis with splenomegaly with Traditional Chinese medicine The time is limited from the construction of the library to November 2020. We will use the criteria provided by Cochrane 5.1.0 for quality assessment and risk assessment of the included studies, and use the Revman 5.3 and Stata 13.0 software so as to systematically review the effectiveness of Traditional Chinese medicine for hepatocirrhosis with splenomegaly.Ethics and dissemination:This systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Traditional Chinese medicine for hepatocirrhosis with splenomegaly. Because all data used in this systematic review and meta-analysis have been published, this review does not require ethical approval. In addition, all data will be analyzed anonymously during the review process.Results:In this study, we will evaluate the efficacy of Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cirrhosis with splenomegaly.Conclusion:The conclusion of this study will be evidence to ensure the efficacy of Traditional Chinese medicine
