From:  Nienke Veldhuijzen, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

Dear Pieter,


The following systematic review is interesting for the recent discussion on LML about 'replacing opinions with research':

World Health Organization (WHO) antibiotic regimen against other regimens for the treatment of leprosy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.  Lazo-Porras M, Prutsky G, Barrionuevo P, et al. BMC infectious diseases. 2020; 20 (1) : 62 Lazo-Porras M, Prutsky G, Barrionuevo P, et al. BMC infectious diseases. 2020; 20 (1) : 62


The conclusion of the authors is as follows:

"not better treatment than the implemented by the WHO was found. Diverse outcome and treatment regimens were studied, more statements to standardized  the measurements of outcomes are needed".


Kind regards,
