    BackgroundThe potential benefits and possible risks associated with Xuebijing when combined with ulinastatin for sepsis treatment are not fully understood.MethodsDatabases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang and VIP, were searched to collect randomized, controlled trials. Studies were screened, data were extracted, and the methodological quality was assessed by two reviewers independently. A meta-analysis was carried out with Stata 11.0 software.ResultsA total of 16 studies involving 1192 participants were enrolled for meta-analysis based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that compared with the group using routine therapies and the group using a single administration of either ulinastatin or Xuebijing, the trial group using Xuebijing combined with ulinastatin was significantly superior in the following aspects: mortality (RR = 0. 54,95% CI (0. 41, 0. 70, P = .000), 7 d APACHE II (SMD = -1.21, 95%CI (-1.62, -0.80), P = .000), duration of mechanical ventilation (SMD = -1.21, 95%CI (-1.62, -0.80), P = .000), average length of time in the intensive care unit (SMD = -1.21, 95%CI (-1.62, -0.80), P = .000), incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (RR = 0. 54, 95% CI (0.41, 0. 70, P = .000), interleukin-6 (SMD = -1.36,95%CI (-2.46, -0.27), P = .000), lipopolysaccharide (SMD = -9.92, 95%CI (-11.7, -7.90), P = .006), and procalcitonin (SMD = -0.30, 95%CI (-0.34, -0.26), P = .012).ConclusionsOur results found that Xuebijing when combined with ulinastatin was superior to both routine therapies and the single administration of either ulinastatin or Xuebijing. This finding provides a new therapeutic option for the treatment of sepsis.Copyright © 2017. Published by Elsevier Inc.
