Effects of Pharmacy-Based Interventions on the Control and Management of Diabetes in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Efficacy of Pharmacist Based Diabetes Educational Interventions on Clinical Outcomes of Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Network Meta-Analysis

“…Systematic reviews done by Machado et al (2007) and Yaghoubi et al (2017) also reported comparable effects of pharmacist led interventions [−1.00 ± 0.28%; p < 0.001] and [0.96%; 95%CI 0.71, 1.22] respectively, when compared with usual care in diabetes patients.…”

“…Pharmacists are playing a key role in providing self-management education to diabetes patients. Literature indicates a number of interventional studies involving pharmacist based interventions, showing clinically significant improvements in the clinical outcomes of the diabetes patients (Machado et al, 2007; Wubben and Vivian, 2008; Pousinho et al, 2016; Van Eikenhorst et al, 2017; Yaghoubi et al, 2017). …”

“…To date several systematic reviews and meta-analysis have been published evaluating the impact of pharmacist based interventions in diabetes patients with respect to usual care (Machado et al, 2007; Wubben and Vivian, 2008; Pousinho et al, 2016; Van Eikenhorst et al, 2017; Yaghoubi et al, 2017). However, there is no study which had compared and presented that which pharmacist based intervention is better than the other, with statistical evidence.…”

Patient-level micro-simulation model for evaluating the future potential cost–effectiveness of pharmacy-based interventions in the control and management of diabetes-related complications in Canada

“…This means that, of the Canadian healthcare dollars being expended on diabetes patients, eighty percent are incurred as a result of diabetesrelated complications (10). However, there is an opportunity to reduce this expenditure through modifications; reminders about annual physical examinations; assistance with adherence to medication; patient education about the correct use of insulin, anti-hyperglycemic medications and oral hypoglycemic agents; and, programming that increases patients' awareness about effective diabetes management (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Recent reviews of pharmacy-based interventions have remix, or adapt this material for any purpose without crediting the original authors.…”

“…It is no longer restricted by copyright. Anyone can legally share, reuse, demonstrated that they have a positive impact on clinical outcomes (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). These findings are promising, especially because they suggest that pharmacy-based interventions could reduce diabetes-related complications, morbidity and mortality (13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”
