Objectives: Recent studies have confirmed the involvement of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in the pathogenesis of vascular complications in individuals with diabetes. Due to the discrepancy between the results of studies, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate MBL levels in patients with diabetes and its vascular complications.
Methods: We reviewed all observational studies published in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to identify relevant studies up to 1 April 2024.
Purpose: To evaluate the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) through a systematic approach.
Method: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science with no time restrictions. The search was based on the three main concepts: Covid-19, Vaccine immunogenicity and Diabetes Mellitus.
Article Synopsis
- Vaccination has proven to be a key method in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of various COVID-19 vaccines in reducing infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.
- The study reviewed 54 different research articles and found that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines significantly increased after the second dose, with Pooled Vaccine Effectiveness (PVE) reaching 87% for infections and 89% for hospitalizations.
- The analysis concluded that vaccines BNT162b2 mRNA, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 demonstrated high effectiveness in preventing COVID-19-related issues, suggesting their continued use for disease prevention.
