Abstract
Background:In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the role of systemic therapeutic hypothermia remains controversial. We performed a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of systemic therapeutic hypothermia in patients with AMI receiving PCI.Methods:This study will use the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Database, and Ongoing Clinical Trials Database. The search terms were hypothermia, cooling, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia and acute coronary syndrome. Quality assessment of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:The findings of this study will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.Conclusion:This systematic review will provide evidence to determine whether hypothermia therapy is an effective and safe intervention for patients with AMI receiving PCI.Registration number: 10.17605/OSF.IO/9XJSB.
