Platelet-rich plasma therapy for chronic cutaneous wounds stratified by etiology: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials

ConclusionsPRP may improve the healing of venous ulcers; however, there is no strong evidence regarding this positive effect in other wound etiologies. Although autologous PRP therapy is widely used, its effectiveness according to wound etiology is still not clear. The heterogenicity of the protocols to prepare and apply PRP therapy and the different methods for measuring chronic wound outcomes hinder the comparison of studies, thereby limiting the possibility of conducting a more robust analysis.The systematic review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO under number CRD42021251501.
