Background: Depression is a disease with a high incidence and easy to relapse. It not only affects the work and life of patients, but also brings a heavy economic burden. University is the peak of depression, and the prevalence of depression among college students is much higher than that of ordinary people. The purpose of this research is to evaluate depression symptoms, life satisfaction, self-confidence, substance use, social adjustment, and dropout rates of the use of psychological intervention for college students. Methods: We will identify relevant trials from systematic searches in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library. We will also search Clinical Trials.gov, the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for unpublished data. Additional relevant studies will be searched through search engines (such as Google), and references included in the literature will be tracked. All relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) will be included. There are no date restrictions. Use Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of bias tool to conduct risk of bias analysis. Use the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation to assess the quality of evidence. All statistical analysis will be performed using Stata (V.15.0.) and Review Manager (V.5.2.0). Results: A total of 6238 records were obtained by searching the database and 27 records were obtained by other sources. After removing duplicate records, there are 4225 records remaining. We excluded 3945 records through abstract and title, leaving 280 full-text articles. Conclusion: This will be the first study to compare the effects of different psychological treatments on depression in college students. We hope that this study will guide clinical decision-making of psychotherapy to better treat depression in college students. Protocol Registration: INPLASY202070134.

Background: Umbilical cord clamping is one of the most commonly used medical or complementary medical interventions. The different timing of cord clamping may have any significant impact on public health. However, the results remain controversial. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effect of different timing of umbilical cord clamping on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: A systematic literature search for relevant articles will be conducted in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Embase, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from their inception to December 2018. Any randomized controlled trial (RCT), case-control study, observational study, that reported the effect of different timing of cord clamping will be included regardless of sample size. There are no language restrictions. Mortality and risk of iron-deficiency anemia will be used to assess the clinical effect. Risk of bias assessment of the included RCTs will be conducted by the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale is used to assess observational studies. All statistical analyses will be performed using Stata V.15.0. A modified version of Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation will be used to assess the quality of evidence in network meta-analysis (NMA). Results: The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: This will be the first NMA to evaluate and compare the effect of different timing of umbilical cord clamping. We hope that the results of this NMA will help clinicians and caregivers make more appropriate choices when clamping umbilical cord.

“…We will assess inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as patient characteristics to transitivity assumption. [ 20 ] Besides, we will use the node-splitting approach to evaluate inconsistency within each pair-wise comparison. We will present the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Area (SUCRA) values for each treatment to rank the different surgical procedures.…”

Comparative efficacy of bariatric surgery for type 2 diabetes mellitus

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The comparative efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been completely elucidated. To investigate this question, we conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Methods: The protocol followed preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) checklist. Two review authors will independently search the PubMed, Embase (Ovid), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. The primary outcome is T2DM remission. The secondary outcomes include BMI, HbA1c (%), and percentage excess weight loss (% EWL). Results from the network meta-analysis will be presented as summary relative effect sizes (WMD or RR) and relative 95% CIs for each possible pair of treatments. Outcomes will be combined based on different periods of follow-up (12 months, 36 months, and 60 months). Results: The results will provide useful information about the efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures in patients with T2DM. Conclusion: The findings of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal. INPLASY registration number: INPLASY202050053.
