However, it remains unclear which approach yields superior patient outcomes. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of TIVAPs and PICCs in patients undergoing chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) to identify available articles comparing the effect of TIVADs and PICCs.

The meta-analysis results demonstrated that compared with PICCs, TIVAPs were associated with lower significantly risks of infection (OR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.11-0.40), catheter occlusion (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.77), phlebitis (OR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06-0.42), and catheter dislodgement (OR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.08-0.76) compared to PICCs.
