Does the use of pulsed-xenon ultraviolet light reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections?: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective
The present review was conducted to assess the ability of the pulsed-xenon ultra-violet system (PX-UVL) to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAI).
Methods
All types of studies available on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases assessing the risk of any HAI with the use of PX-UVL and published up to 25 February 2025 were included. Data on C. difficile infection (CDI), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infections, and Acinetobacter baumannii infections (ABI) was pooled.
Results
Fourteen studies were included. Most studies had a pre-post study design while two were controlled trials. Meta-analysis showed a statistically significant reduction in the risk of CDI with PX-UVL (RR: 0.76 95 % CI: 0.59, 0.97 I2 = 72 %). However, results were significant only for pre-post studies (RR: 0.75 95 % CI: 0.57, 0.98 I2 = 73 %) but not for controlled trials (RR: 0.70 95 % CI: 0.25, 1.96 I2 = 72 %). The results were also not stable on sensitivity analysis. Meta-analysis also showed a tendency of reduction of MRSA infections but the effect size was statistically non-significant (RR: 0.80 95 % CI: 0.62, 1.02 I2 = 65 %). Pooled analysis demonstrated no significant impact of PX-UVL in reducing the risk of VRE infections (RR: 0.83 95 % CI: 0.66, 1.04 I2 = 54 %) or ABI (RR: 0.64 95 % CI: 0.21, 1.90 I2 = 96 %). Subgroup analysis based on study design showed that the risk of VRE infection did not change in both pre-post studies and controlled trials.
Conclusions
Current evidence from variable study designs suggests that PX-UVL may have limited efficacy in reducing HAI. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials will provide quality evidence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy (JIC) — official journal of the Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases — welcomes original papers, laboratory or clinical, as well as case reports, notes, committee reports, surveillance and guidelines from all parts of the world on all aspects of chemotherapy, covering the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, including treatment with anticancer drugs. Experimental studies on animal models and pharmacokinetics, and reports on epidemiology and clinical trials are particularly welcome.
