Background. Mortality and morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are attributed to both microvascular and macrovascular complications. However, there is a significant amount of variation in the primary studies on DM regarding the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in Africa. Therefore, this study was aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of ED patients with DM and its association with body mass index (BMI) and glycated hemoglobin in Africa. Methods. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PsycINFO, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar were searched for studies that looked at ED in DM patients. A funnel plot and Egger’s regression test were used to determine publication bias. The I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity between the studies. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to estimate the pooled effect size. The subgroup and meta-regression analyses were conducted by country, sample size, and year of publication. Sensitivity analysis was deployed to see the effect of a single study on the overall estimation. STATA version 14 statistical software was used for the meta-analysis. Result. A total of 13 studies with 3,501 study participants were included in this study. We estimated that the pooled prevalence of ED in patients with DM in Africa was 71.45% (95% CI: 60.22–82.69). Diabetic patients whose BMI was ≥30 kg/m2 were 1.26 times more likely to develop ED (AOR = 1.26; 95% CI: 0.73–2.16) and whose glycated hemoglobin was <7% were 7% less likely to develop ED (AOR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.5–5.9), although they were not significantly associated with ED. Conclusions. The prevalence of ED in DM patients in Africa remains high. Therefore, situation-based interventions and country context-specific preventive strategies should be developed to reduce the prevalence of ED among patients with DM.

Prevalence Of Depression

Background. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Depression is one of the major important public health problems that is often comorbid with diabetes. Despite the huge effect of comorbid depression and diabetes, the overall pooled prevalence of depression among diabetic patients in the country level remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the pooled prevalence of depression among patients with diabetes mellitus in Ethiopia.Method. Data extraction was designed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies were accessed through electronic web-based search from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Embase, and PsycINFO. All statistical analyses were done using STATA version 11 software using random effects model. The pooled prevalence was presented in forest plots.Results. A total of 9 studies with 2944 participants were included in this meta-analysis and the overall pooled estimated prevalence of depression among diabetic patients in Ethiopia was 39.73% (95% CI (28.02%, 51.45%)). According to subgroup analysis the estimated prevalence of depression in Addis Ababa was 52.9% (95% CI: 36.93%, 68.88%) and in Oromia region was 45.49% (95% CI: 41.94, 49.03%).Conclusion. The analysis revealed that the overall prevalence of comorbid depression among diabetic patients in Ethiopia was high. Therefore, Ministry of Health should design multisectorial approach and context specific interventions that address this comorbid depression in this specific group as well as general population.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that induces elevated plasma glucose levels. Diabetic patients are more susceptible to infections, especially fungal infections. There is a direct relationship between increased blood glucose levels and the number of Candida hyphae in the oral mucosa. This study aimed to evaluate oral candidiasis and the different Candida species found in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Methods: A search for studies on oral candidiasis and diabetes mellitus was carried out in the following databases: PubMed (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library), Web of Science (WoS) and Google Scholar. For dichotomous outcomes, the estimates of effects of an intervention were expressed as odds ratios (OR) using the Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) method with 95% confidence intervals. Results: 25 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Diabetes Mellitus patients tripled the probability of being infected by Candida species (OR:3.16, p<0.001). Likewise, Candida species infections were more likely in patients with poor glycemic control (OR:2.94, p<0.001) and with dentures (OR:2.22, p<0.001). In contrast, neither gender nor diabetes mellitus type of diabetes conditioned fungal infections (p>0.05). The most prevalent Candida species in both diabetics and controls were C. albicans and C. tropicalis. Diabetics had significantly fewer C. non-albicans species oral infections than non-diabetics (p=0.04). Conclusions: Diabetics are more prone to oral candidiasis, especially C. albicans infections.

Aim: To describe the rate of the controlled level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among diabetes mellitus patients in Dammam city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). To assess the association between the status of HbA1c and the different patient-related factors namely: insulin use, metformin, dyslipidemia, and statin use. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at Security Forces Hospital, Dammam, KSA, between November 2020 and February 2021. A sample of two hundred known diabetic patients who were regularly followed up at the outpatient department (OPD) was selected randomly for the current study. Results: A very low rate (24%) of controlled HbA1C levels in patients with diabetes (type 1 DM and type 2 DM), The data showed that 85 % of all participants in our study are T2DM patients, while only 15% are T1DM patients, Our data showed that patients with dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, or hypertension have a high level of uncontrolled HbA1C levels. Surprisingly, both dyslipidemia and statin use were predictors of uncontrolled HbA1C, Unexpectedly, non-metformin use has a protective effect toward controlling HbA1C, While insulin use is a strong predictor of uncontrolled HbA1C (OD 5.20). Conclusion: A low rate of controlled glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level among patients with diabetes (T1DM and T2DM) in our sample urges the need for immediate intervention to investigate and improve the current findings. Further investigations are needed to fully explain the high rate of uncontrolled HbA1c among insulin, metformin and statins users.

Background. Our aim was to assess the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage associated with diabetes among patients taking low-dose aspirin (≤325 mg/day). Methods. A systematic search was conducted for publication in English and Chinese using term equivalents for “GI hemorrhage”, “aspirin”, and “diabetes mellitus” up till April 2020. Electronic databases include PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and VIP Database. Two independent authors searched databases and reviewed abstracts for comprehensive studies keeping adequate study quality. Data of weighted odds ratios were statistically evaluated and potential bias was checked. Results. Among 446 publications, eight case-control researches, including 1601 patients, were deemed for this meta-analysis. Patients with diabetes were associated with a higher risk of GI hemorrhage than patients without diabetes: the summary ORs were 3.10 (95% CI, 2.35–4.09). The heterogeneity of the reports was not significant (Chi2=3.39, P=0.85; I2=0%). Conclusion. The meta-analysis showed that aspirin users with diabetes were more likely to have GI hemorrhage. Hence, when treating diabetics with aspirin, the increased risk of GI bleeding should be taken in consideration.

IntroductionIn previous studies, it has been found that on average, children consistently gained weight during the summer months at an increased rate compared with the 9-month school year. This contributed to an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in children. Several obesity-related interventions have occurred during or targeting the summer months. We propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of obesity prevention and treatment interventions for school-age children conducted during the summer or targeting the summer months when children are not in school on their body mass index (BMI), or weight-related behaviours.Methods and analysesA literature search will be conducted by the first author (JPM) using MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE and Proquest Dissertations and Theses databases from the date of inception to present. Studies must examine interventions that address the modification or promotion of weight-related behaviours (eg, dietary patterns, eating behaviours, physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour or sleep) and target school-age children (ages 5–18). The primary outcomes will be changes from baseline to postintervention and/or the last available follow-up measurement in weight, BMI, BMI percentile, standardised BMI or per cent body fat. Secondary outcomes will include changes in dietary intake, PA, sedentary behaviour or sleep. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomised and non-randomised studies, as appropriate.Ethics and disseminationBecause this is a protocol for a systematic review, ethics approval will not be required. The findings will be disseminated via presentations at scientific conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal. All amendments to the protocol will be documented and dated and reported in the PROSPERO trial registry.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42016041750

ANTECEDENTES: la disfunción eréctil es la incapacidad para conseguir y mantener una erección que permita una penetración sexual satisfactoria en 50% de las veces, en un periodo de tres meses. Entre las causas orgánicas, la diabetes mellitus representa 30%. A pesar de esta relación la prevalencia es poco conocida en nuestro medio.OBJETIVO: determinar la asociación entre el control glucémico y la disfunción eréctil en diabéticos.MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio observacional, transversal y analítico al que se incluyeron pacientes que no refirieron complicaciones al momento del estudio. A todos se les aplicó el cuestionario IIFE-5 (Índice Internacional de la Función Eréctil) para detectar si padecían o no disfunción eréctil, se compararon las concentraciones de hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), y se analizó su asociación mediante la aplicación de la razón de momios.RESULTADOS: en 362 pacientes se encontró una prevalencia de disfunción eréctil de 72.3% (n=272), de estos 80.9% (n=212) estaban en descontrol glucémico, con una razón de momios de 6.92 (IC95%: 4.16 a 11.50).CONCLUSIONES: en los pacientes diabéticos existe una relación 7:1 de probabilidad de disfunción eréctil versus pacientes con adecuado control glucémico.PALABRAS CLAVE: diabetes mellitus, disfunción eréctil, hemoglobina glucosilada, control glucémico.  AbstractBACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection that enables satisfactory sexual penetration 50% of the time, within a 3-month period. Diabetes mellitus is the organic cause in 30% of cases, but despite this relation, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is not well known in Mexico.OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between glycemic control and erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional, analytic study included diabetic patients that did not complain of complications at the time of the study. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire was applied to detect whether or not the patients presented with erectile dysfunction. Their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were compared and the association with erectile dysfunction was analyzed through the odds ratio.RESULTS: The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in 362 patients was 72.3% (n=272). Of those patients with erectile dysfunction, 80.9% (n=212) had inadequate glycemic control, with an odds ratio of 6.92 (95% CI: 4.16 to 11.50).CONCLUSIONS: The odds ratio of presenting with erectile dysfunction for diabetic men with inadequate glycemic control and patients with adequate glycemic control was 7:1.KEY WORDS: Diabetes mellitus; Erectile dysfunction; Glycated hemoglobin; Glycemic control

Background: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease, is frequently associated with sexual dysfunctions. Identification and management of these dysfunctions are important for overall wellbeing of the patient, though usually neglected. We lack data on this regard from Nepal. Objective: To estimate prevalence of psycho-sexual disorders (with emphasis on erectile dysfunction) in the patients with diabetes mellitus visiting ‘Diabetes clinic’ of a tertiary care teaching hospital in eastern Nepal. Method: It is a hospital-clinic based prevalence study. This study analyzed consecutive diabetes mellitus clinic patients’ response to self response questionnaires ‘Arizona Sexual Experience Scale’ (ASEX) for over all sexual dysfunction and ‘5- Item Version of the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction’ (IIEF-5) for erectile dysfunction. ‘Diabetes mellitus’ diagnosis was made based on the ADA guidelines 2010. Results: Among 100 male clinic diabetes patients, majorities were married, above age 50 years and all diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Out of total, 48% had sexual dysfunction by the ASEX and many subjects had erectile dysfunction by the IIEF-5. Conclusion: Psychosexual dysfunctions, mainly erectile dysfunction are common among diabetic patients. Hence, assessment should include attention to sexual problems as well during management of diabetes mellitus.
