Also, the reference lists of key studies were checked for additional citations. Quality assessment of studies was performed using the STROBE checklist. The results of the studies were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software version 2. Results: Twenty-six studies involving 8980 patients were included in the review.
