F., Wu S., Weng C., Li J., Sun L., Li Q., Gao Erratum: Submandibular Gland Transfer for the Prevention of Postradiation Xerostomia in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis <b><i>Background:</i></b> Submandibular gland transfer has been widely used to prevent postradiation xerostomia in head-and-neck cancers. However, there are still some controversies. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Six databases were searched, data extraction was performed and the risk of bias was assessed by 2 reviewers independently. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager, version 5.2. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 7 trials (12 articles) and 369 participants were included. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The present clinical evidence suggests that submandibular gland transfer might be highly effective to prevent postradiation xerostomia in head-and-neck cancers without serious adverse events. However, more randomized controlled trials are still needed to confirm this conclusion. Submandibular gland transfer;Postradiation xerostomia;Prevention;Head-and-neck cancer;Meta-analysis 2017-07-25
