Abstract
Introduction: In people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we aimed to estimate: (1) the prevalence of glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycaemia (GIH); (2) whether the prevalence of GIH varies by age, baseline diabetes status, treatment duration, ascertainment of glycaemia, definition of hyperglycaemia, study design and year of publication; and (3) the relative risk (RR) of new-onset hyperglycaemia in exposed vs non-exposed to systemic glucocorticoids.
Methods: We searched electronic databases until 9 November 2023 for randomised controlled trials and observational studies including adults diagnosed with COPD, with or without diabetes at baseline, using systemic glucocorticoids equivalent to prednisolone ≥5 mg/day for ≥3 days if exposed. Hyperglycaemia was defined as a blood glucose above a study-specific cut-off. We extracted data on study and participant characteristics, exposure and outcome. We performed random-effects meta-analysis to calculate pooled prevalence estimate of GIH. Prevalence was expressed as the proportion of people who developed hyperglycaemia among all exposed to systemic glucocorticoids during follow-up. We calculated RR of new-onset hyperglycaemia in exposed vs non-exposed to systemic glucocorticoids from eight studies.
Results: Of 25,806 citations, we included 18 studies comprising 3642 people of whom 3125 received systemic glucocorticoids and 1189 developed hyperglycaemia. Pooled prevalence of GIH was 38.6% (95%CI 29.9%-47.9%) with significant heterogeneity, I2 = 96% (p < 0.010), which was partially explained by differences in study design. Pooled RR = 2.39 (95%CI 1.51-3.78). Publication bias was present.
Conclusion: The prevalence of GIH was 38.6%. Being treated with systemic glucocorticoids for COPD was associated with 2.4 times higher risk of new-onset hyperglycaemia versus no glucocorticoid treatment.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
