Polyethylene glycol versus lactulose in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Gilles Jadd Hoilat, Mohamad Fekredeen Ayas, Judie Noemie Hoilat, Ahmed Abu-Zaid, Ceren Durer, Seren Durer, Talal Adhami, Savio John

“…Compared with lactulose, the pooled effect size demonstrated a significantly lower average HE Scoring Algorithm (HESA) Score at 24 hours (Mean difference (MD)=−0.68, 95% CI (−1.05 to –0.31), p<0.001), a higher proportion of patients with reduction of HESA Score by ≥1 grade at 24 hours (risk ratio (RR)=1.40, 95% CI (1.17 to 1.67), p<0.001), a higher proportion of patients with a HESA Score of grade 0 at 24 hours (RR=4.33, 95% CI (2.27 to 8.28), p<0.0010) and a shorter time to resolution of HE group (MD=−1.45, 95% CI (−1.72 to –1.18), p<0.001) in favour of patients treated with PEG.Conclusion PEG leads to a higher drop in the HESA Score and thus leads to a faster resolution of HE compared with lactulose.…”
