Background: Middle cerebral artery division (M2) occlusion was significantly underrepresented in recent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) randomized controlled trials, and the approach to this disease remains heterogeneous. Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes at 90 days among patients undergoing MT for M2 middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions. Methods: Five clinical databases were searched from inception through September 2016. Observational studies reporting 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores for patients undergoing MT for M2 MCA occlusions with an M1 MCA control group were selected. The primary outcome of interest was good clinical outcome 90 days after MT of an M1 or M2 MCA occlusion. Secondary outcomes of interest included mortality and excellent clinical outcome, recanalization rates, significant intracerebral hemorrhage, and procedural complications. Results: A total of 323 publications were identified, and 237 potentially relevant articles were screened. Six studies were included in the analysis (M1 = 1,203, M2 = 258; total n = 1,461). We found no significant differences in good clinical outcomes (1.10 [95% CI, 0.83-1.44]), excellent clinical outcomes (1.07 [0.65-1.79]), mortality at 3 months (0.85 [0.58-1.24]), recanalization rates (1.06 [0.32-3.48]), and significant intracranial hemorrhage (1.19 [0.61-2.30]). Conclusions: MT of M2 MCA occlusions is as safe as that of main trunk MCA occlusions, and comparable in terms of clinical outcomes and hemorrhagic complications. Randomized clinical trials are needed to assess the impact of MT in patients with M2 occlusions, given that M1 MCA occlusions have different natural histories than M2 occlusions.

Abstract Aims Oesophageal cancer has low survival rates due to diagnosis commonly occurring in advanced stages. We performed a systematic review of delays to diagnosis and treatment in oesophageal cancer, and the impact of delay on clinical outcome. Methods A systematic review of Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane Library was carried out using the following search terms: (esophageal cancer) AND ((time) OR (diagnosis)) AND ((delay) OR (wait)). 821 results in English were retrieved and independently reviewed by two researchers. Studies were included if they were randomised controlled trials (RCT), meta-analyses or observational studies, and assessed delay in relation to at least one clinical outcome or TNM stage at diagnosis. Results 15277 patients across 12 studies were included. 10/12 studies were retrospective, and there were no RCT. Heterogeneity existed amongst the studies in defining delay and outcomes (morbidity = 1/12, mortality = 2/12, disease-free = 2/12 or overall survival = 5/12, TNM stage = 6/12). No studies demonstrated that reduced delay improved clinical outcome. Longer patient delay correlated with presence of malnutrition in one study but did not result in reduced survival. Conclusions Systematic review of published literature did not demonstrate a relationship between diagnosis/treatment delay and patient outcome in oesophageal cancer. Multi-centre prospective studies/RCTs are required to identify the impact of delay and the optimal timing of treatment.

Evidence Based Decision Making

Big international development donors such as the UK’s Department for International Development and USAID have recently started using systematic review as a methodology to assess the effectiveness of various development interventions to help them decide what is the ‘best’ intervention to spend money on. Such an approach to evidence-based decision-making has long been practiced in the health sector in the US, UK, and elsewhere but it is relatively new in the development field. In this article we use the case of a systematic review of the impact of microfinance on the poor in sub-Saharan African to indicate how systematic review as a methodology can be used to assess the impact of specific development interventions.
