Studies comparing replantation versus revision amputation outcomes were considered for inclusion. Methodological quality was assessed using Methodologic Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. Data were pooled in a random\u2010effects meta\u2010analysis model using Revman software. Certainty of evidence was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 4350 studies identified, 12 retrospective cohort studies met inclusion criteria and compared TDA outcomes for replantation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 717; 82.9% male; mean age 40.3) versus revision amputation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1046; 79.8% male; mean age 41.7). The overall replantation survival rate was 85.3%. The average MINORS score was 57% (13.75\/24). Replantation of the thumb had a superior Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) score (+11.88, 95% CI [7.78\u201315.99], <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> =\u200921%) compared with revision amputation.

Replantation of single non\u2010thumb digits also yielded superior PROs, which is likely not clinically important and based on very low\u2010quality evidence. Future studies with populations outside Asia are required to determine if PROs vary based on cultural differences toward digital amputation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.30738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,3]],"date-time":"2021-04-03T07:34:08Z","timestamp":1617435248000},"page":"488-497","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Comparing digital replantation versus revision amputation patient reported outcomes for traumatic digital amputations of the hand: A systematic review and <scp>meta\u2010analysis<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1952-9161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas","family":"Stone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery McMaster University  Hamilton Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajay","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michael G.
