This study was carried out by using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. We used RevMan version 5.3.0. to analyze the data.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Five RCTs involving 414 patients were included in the analysis. The incidence and severity of postoperative CRBD were assessed at 0, 1, 2, and 6 h. According to our results of meta-analysis, ketamine reduced the incidence of postoperative CRBD at 2 h (RR 0.39; 95% CI, 0.21\u20130.71; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002, I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 40%) and 6 h (RR 0.29; 95% CI, 0.16\u20130.50; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001, I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0%) significantly; however, there were no statistical differences at 0 h (RR 0.81; 95% CI, 0.35\u20131.88; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.62, I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 96%) and 1 h (RR 0.57; 95% CI, 0.13\u20132.54; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.46, I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 97%). In two studies, we compared the incidence of moderate-to-severe CRBD between groups according to the scaling system (none, mild, moderate, and severe), and data are presented as numbers. Patients in the ketamine group showed a significantly lower severity of CRBD than those in the placebo group at 1 h (RR 0.09; 95% CI, 0.03\u20130.31; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.0001) and 2 h (RR 0.06; 95% CI, 0.01\u20130.44; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.005). In contrast, there were no meaningful differences between the two groups in the severity of CRBD at 0 h (RR 0.18; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.84) or 6 h (RR 0.20; 95% CI, 0.03\u20131.59; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.13). There were no meaningful differences on the rate of adverse events between the ketamine group and control group, mainly including postoperative nausea and vomiting (RR 1.24; 95% CI, 0.89\u20131.72; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.21), diplopia (RR 3.00; 95% CI, 0.48\u201318.67; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.24), and hallucination (RR 3.00; 95% CI, 0.32\u201328.24; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.34).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Our meta-analysis demonstrated that a sub-hypnotic dose of ketamine administration can reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative CRBD without causing evident side effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2022.816995","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]],"date-time":"2022-06-27T04:37:11Z","timestamp":1656304631000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Meta-Analysis of the Efficacy and Safety of Ketamine on Postoperative Catheter-Related Bladder Discomfort"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Youyi","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunqiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongbao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongxu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiping","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jitao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanshan","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"475","DOI":"10.1213\/01.ANE.0000142117.82241.DC","article-title":"Small-dose Ketamine Infusion Improves Postoperative Analgesia and Rehabilitation after Total Knee Arthroplasty","volume":"100","author":"Adam","year":"2005","journal-title":"Anesth.
