Objectives To systematically review the efficacy of hypothermia intervention on adult severe craniocerebral injury.Methods CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of hypothermia intervention on severe craniocerebral injury from the establishment of the database to July 2nd, 2020.Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 25 RCTs involving 2 949 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the mortality of hypothermia intervention group was lower than that of normal body temperature group (RR=0.72, 95%CI 0.58 to 0.89, P=0.003), and the prognosis of hypothermia intervention group was better than that of normal body temperature group (RR=1.29, 95%CI 1.15 to 1.46, P<0.000 1).Conclusions Current evidence shows that the hypothermia intervention has a lower mortality rate and a higher prognosis rate in the treatment of adult severe brain injury. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
