“…Significant difference between intervention group and control group was also observed in the group of duration > 3 months and ≤ 6 months [9,10,20,25,26,28,29,37], with a pooled WMD of -0.47% (95% CI [-0.63, -0.30], P < .001). However, the heterogeneity increased to 45.9%.…”

“…Forms of new media that did not fall in the above three categories were classified as others. In the group of website only interventions [7,9,10,12,21,29,34], there was statistically significant difference in HbA1c outcomes between intervention group and control group and WMD was -0.51% (95% CI [-0.68, -0.34], P < .001). However, moderate heterogeneity of 59.8% was also observed across studies in this subgroup.…”

“…However, there is not a universally acknowledged verdict on whether new media interventions could make a significant difference on patients' glycemic level. Some research reported that compared with usual care, new media interventions could significantly reduce HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes [7][8][9][10][11] while others reported otherwise [12][13][14][15][16]. Therefore, in order to comprehensively evaluate the overall impact of new media interventions, a meta-analysis is needed to achieve the pooled result.…”

BACKGROUND The popularity of internet as an area of research has grown manifold over the years. Given its rapid development and increasing coverage worldwide, internet-based interventions seem to offer a promising option to ameliorate huge burdens brought by type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, studies conducted by different researchers have provided contradictory results on the effect of internet-based interventions in glycemic control. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aims to summarize currently available evidence and evaluate the overall impact of internet-based interventions on glycemic management of type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials that used glycosylated hemoglobin values as the outcome measure of glycemic control were considered. Risk of bias and publication bias were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 492 studies, 35 were included in meta-analysis, and results indicated that the weighted mean difference (WMD) between usual care and internet-based interventions at endpoint was –0.426% (95% CI –0.540 to –0.312; P<.001). Subgroup analyses revealed that intervention duration ≤3 months yielded optimal performance (WMD –0.51%; 95% CI –0.71 to –0.31; P<.001). Combined mobile and website interventions were substantially superior to solely Web-based and mobile-based interventions in glycemic control (combined WMD –0.77%, 95% CI –1.07 to –0.47; P<.001; Web only: WMD –0.48%; 95% CI –0.71 to –0.24, P<.001; mobile only WMD –0.31%, 95% CI –0.49 to –0.14; P<.001). Furthermore, the effect of interventions with automated feedbacks was similar to those with manual feedbacks, and studies with internet-based educational contents were more effective in glycemic control. The assessment revealed a low risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, utilization of internet-based intervention is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and taking full advantage of this type of intervention may substantially reduce the incidence of complications and improve quality of life.

Background There is a large body of evidence evaluating quality improvement (QI) programmes to improve care for adults living with diabetes. These programmes are often comprised of multiple QI strategies, which may be implemented in various combinations. Decision‐makers planning to implement or evaluate a new QI programme, or both, need reliable evidence on the relative effectiveness of different QI strategies (individually and in combination) for different patient populations. Objectives To update existing systematic reviews of diabetes QI programmes and apply novel meta‐analytical techniques to estimate the effectiveness of QI strategies (individually and in combination) on diabetes quality of care. Search methods We searched databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL) and trials registers (ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO ICTRP) to 4 June 2019. We conducted a top‐up search to 23 September 2021; we screened these search results and 42 studies meeting our eligibility criteria are available in the awaiting classification section. Selection criteria We included randomised trials that assessed a QI programme to improve care in outpatient settings for people living with diabetes. QI programmes needed to evaluate at least one system‐ or provider‐targeted QI strategy alone or in combination with a patient‐targeted strategy. ‐ System‐targeted: case management (CM); team changes (TC); electronic patient registry (EPR); facilitated relay of clinical information (FR); continuous quality improvement (CQI). ‐ Provider‐targeted: audit and feedback (AF); clinician education (CE); clinician reminders (CR); financial incentives (FI). ‐ Patient‐targeted: patient education (PE); promotion of self‐management (PSM); patient reminders (PR). Patient‐targeted QI strategies needed to occur with a minimum of one provider or system‐targeted strategy. Data collection and analysis We dual‐screened search results and abstracted data on study design, study population and QI strategies. We assessed the impact of the programmes on 13 measures of diabetes care, including: glycaemic control (e.g. mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)); cardiovascular risk factor management (e.g. mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C), proportion of people living with diabetes that quit smoking or receiving cardiovascular medications); and screening/prevention of microvascular complications (e.g. proportion of patients receiving retinopathy or foot screening); and harms (e.g. proportion of patients experiencing adverse hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia). We modelled the association of each QI strategy with outcomes using a series of hierarchical multivariable meta‐regression models in a Bayesian framework. The previous version of this review identified that different strategies were more or less effective depending on baseline levels of outco...
