ABSTRACT: Objects
This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led cares on cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods
The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomised controlled trials of nurse-led care for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) published in English from inception to 23 December 2021. Random effects models were used to calculate weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95%CI.Results
13 articles were included in the meta-analysis, with a total of3757 participants. Considering baseline measurements, pooled analysis showed that nurse-led care significantly decreased the glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (WMD=-0.68 mmol/L; 95% CI -0.85 to -0.52; p<0.001), body mass index (BMI) (WMD=-0.54 kg/m2; 95% CI: -0.97 to -0.11; p=0.01) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (WMD=-1.17 mmHg; 95% CI: -2.11 to -0.22; p=0.02) for patients with T2DM. But there was no difference in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (WMD=-2.50 mg/dL ; 95% CI: -5.07 to 0.08; p=0.06) between the nurse-led and control groups.Conclusion
Nurse-led care is an effective and accessible intervention that could improve HbA1c, SBP, BMI levels among individuals with T2DM.Prospero registration number
