Systemic immune-inflammation index and long-term mortality in patients with hypertension: a cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between systemic inflammation and long-term mortality in patients with hypertension.

Methods: The study employed a retrospective cohort design. The study population was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), and the mortality data for this population was acquired from the National Death Index (NDI) database.

Lifestyle intervention Tai Chi for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a PRIO-harms based overview of 17 systematic reviews.

Objective: To systematically summarize current evidence and determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of Tai Chi for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults by conducting an overview of systematic reviews (SRs).

Methods: A systematic search encompassing five electronic databases was conducted until July 30, 2023, to identify relevant systematic reviews (SRs) based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning Tai Chi for T2DM. The methodological quality of the included SRs was assessed using the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews (AMSTAR 2) and the Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews (ROBIS) tool.

Tai Chi for type 2 diabetes mellitus: A protocol for systematic review.

Background: Tai Chi is gaining an increasing popularity in rehabilitation management of chronic conditions. Yet no consensus has reached on its efficacy and safety of type 2 diabetes despite that several systematic reviews (SRs) were published on this topic. Therefore, we will conduct an overview to critically evaluate current SRs and implement an updated metaanalysis with recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Rehabilitation for balance impairment in patients after stroke: a protocol of a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Introduction: Multiple rehabilitation therapies have been reported to be effective for poststroke balance impairment. However, the comparative effectiveness of these rehabilitation therapies is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to summarise evidence and identify the most effective rehabilitation therapy for poststroke balance impairment.

TCM nonpharmacological interventions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nonpharmacological interventions are gaining an increasing popularity for chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) treatment and rehabilitation, yet their comparative effectiveness and safety remains unclear. Therefore, this study will aim to compare their effectiveness and safety for COPD by implementing a network-meta analysis.

Methods: Electronic databases including MEDLINE via Ovid, and EMBASE via Ovid, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM) will be searched for related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inceptions to the search date without language restrictions.
