PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS AND HBA1C IN PEOPLE WITH INSULIN-PUMP TREATED TYPE 1 DIABETES: PROTOCOL FOR AN ONGOING SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Background and Aims
Psychosocial factors affect diabetes management. To investigate associations between psychosocial factors and HbA1c in people with type 1 diabetes treated with an insulin pump, we will conduct a systematic literature review.
Methods
We will search MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and PsycINFO for original studies (N>50) reporting associations between psychosocial factors and HbA1c in non-pregnant people (age≥18 years) with type 1 diabetes using an external insulin pump with or without continuous glucose monitoring. All identified references will be screened in doublet and eligibility will be determined according to preset criteria. The screening process will be reported according to PRISMA guidelines. Included references will undergo systematic data extraction and quality assessment. We expect to find studies of different designs using different measures of psychosocial factors, and accordingly we plan to undertake a narrative evidence synthesis and conclusion.
Results
Database searches resulted in 1778 unique references. The screening process is currently ongoing.
Conclusions
The results of this ongoing systematic literature review, which will be ready for reporting in February 2020, will provide guidance on psychosocial factors that should be addressed in order to provide optimal care for people with insulin pump treated type 1 diabetes.
