Efficacy and Safety of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion vs. Multiple Daily Injections on Type 1 Diabetes Children: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials

Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4

Abstract

Objective: This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) vs. multiple daily injections (MDI) in children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: A literature search was conducted on databases including PubMed and Embase up to June 2017. The pooled weighted mean difference or risk ratio as well as 95% confidence intervals were calculated using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: Eight studies involving 310 children with type 1 diabetes were included. Results showed that HbA1c (%) was significantly lower (p=0.007) after CSII compared with MDI in children with type 1 diabetes. In addition, there was no significant difference between groups in HbA1c (%) change, total daily insulin doses, change of total daily insulin doses and incidence of ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia. However, subgroup analyses indicated that age, treatment duration and study design were influenced the efficacy of CSII and MDI in children with type 1 diabetes. Conclusion: CSII is associated with lower HbA1c levels in children with type 1 diabetes but appears to have no effect on insulin requirement or incidence of ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia.
