Comparative Effects of Diabetes Self-Management Programs on Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Aims: This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the effects of various diabetes self-management programs: Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME), Diabetes Self-Management Support (DSMS), and Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES).

Methods: We searched four electronic databases for eligible articles up to March 1, 2023. Only randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of DSME, DSMS, or DSMES on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level, fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in adults with type 2 diabetes were included.

Effectiveness of Acupressure for Fatigue Alleviation in Patients Receiving Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Fatigue, a major health concern among patients receiving hemodialysis, is associated with poor quality of life, negative emotions, and cognitive dysfunction. Acupressure is a low-cost and noninvasive traditional Chinese therapy that has been widely used in community and clinic settings. However, the beneficial effects of acupressure on various aspects of fatigue among these patients have not been systematically investigated.

Dynamic Prevalence of and Factors Associated With Fatigue Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.

Objective: To implement a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively synthesize the prevalence of and factors associated with fatigue following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses A&I databases in all fields from their inception to March 31, 2021. We included observational studies investigating fatigue at specific time points following TBI or factors associated with post-TBI fatigue.

Exercise regimens for improved sleep quality in adult breast cancer survivors: systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Objective: The relative efficacy of exercise regimens for improving sleep quality in adult breast cancer survivors remains unknown. This network meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of various exercise regimens for improving sleep quality in adult breast cancer survivors.

Methods: This study searched four electronic databases for relevant literature from inception to 18 July 2023.

Comparative efficacy of digitally assisted interventions for glycated haemoglobin levels among patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and component network Meta-Analysis.

Aims: To compare the efficacy of digitally assisted interventions on the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of patients with type 2 diabetes by performing a systematic review, network meta-analysis and component network meta-analysis.

Methods: Six databases were searched to identify eligible articles from the inception of each database until 17 March 2023. We included randomized controlled trials evaluating HbA1c levels.

Comparative effects of warming systems applied to different parts of the body on hypothermia in adults undergoing abdominal surgery: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Study Objective: The prevention of perioperative hypothermia after anesthesia induction is a critical concern in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The effectiveness of various warming systems for preventing hypothermia and shivering when applied to specific areas of the body remains undetermined.

Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Comparative efficacy of hypnotics in young and middle-aged adults with insomnia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Objective/background: Insomnia is highly prevalent in modern society. However, the hierarchical selection of hypnotics in young and middle-aged adults with insomnia remains unclear. We aimed to compare the efficacy and daytime drowsiness associated with different hypnotics for treating insomnia in young and middle-aged adults.

Psychometric properties of Indonesian version of sleep condition indicator for screening poststroke insomnia.

Background: No study has examined the psychometric properties of the sleep condition indicator (SCI) for screening poststroke insomnia in the Indonesian population. We aimed to develop the Indonesian version of the sleep condition indicator (ISCI) and to examine its psychometric properties for screening adult patients in late sub-acute and chronic periods after stroke.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with two stages.

Fatigue following type 2 diabetes: Psychometric testing of the Indonesian version of the multidimensional fatigue Inventory-20 and unmet fatigue-related needs.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often experience fatigue. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) is a valid tool for evaluating fatigue; however, its psychometric properties have not been examined in Indonesian-speaking patients with T2DM. This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (IMFI-20) in patients with T2DM and investigated fatigue in a health-care setting.

Prevalence and risk factors of fatigue in type 1 and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors of fatigue in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: Observational studies reporting the prevalence and risk factors of fatigue in type 1 or 2 DM were systematically searched for in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Cochrane Trial, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses databases. Data were extracted by two independent reviewers.

The Effect of Acupressure on Relieving Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Fatigue, a common complaint reported by patients with cancer or in survivorship, has been negatively associated with quality of life, emotional health, and cognitive functions. Acupressure, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been increasingly practiced in clinical and community settings. However, little evidence supports the beneficial effects of acupressure on the reduction of general, physical, and mental fatigue in cancer survivors.
