    Abstract
  •   Objective  To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rifaximin in the prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP).  Methods  CNKI, Wanfang Data, CBM, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on rifaximin in the prevention of SBP published up to July 5, 2020. The articles were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data extraction and quality assessment were performed. RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis.  Results  A total of 13 studies (with 2207 patients in total) were included, among which there were 6 RCTs and 7 cohort studies. The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with the non-prevention group, the rifaximin group had significantly lower incidence rate of SBP (odds ratio [OR]=0.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.14-0.96, P=0.04) and mortality rate (OR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.37-0.95, P=0.03); compared with the norfloxacin group, the rifaximin group had significantly lower incidence rate of SBP (OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.25-0.62, P < 0.001), mortality rate (OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.34-0.92, P=0.02), and adverse reactions (OR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.22-0.59, P < 0.001). The subgroup analysis based on the type of prevention showed that there was no significant difference in primary prevention between the two groups (OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.23-1.35, P=0.20), and in secondary prevention, the rifaximin group had a significantly lower incidence rate of SBP (OR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.08-0.43, P < 0.001). In addition, it was also found that rifaximin significantly reduced the incidence rate of hepatorenal syndrome (OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.77, P=0.01) and hepatic encephalopathy (OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.32-0.95, P=0.03).  Conclusion  Rifaximin is safe and effective for the primary and secondary prevention of SBP. Rifaximin is superior to norfloxacin in secondary prevention, which still needs to be confirmed by high-quality multicenter RCTs.
