Abstract:
Background: CVD is the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality
among patients with diabetes. HIT are effective in reducing HbA1c; however,
their effect on cardiovascular risk factor management for patients
with T2D has not been evaluated. This research identified a common effect
of health information technologies (HIT) on the management of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) risk factors among people with type 2 diabetes
(T2D) across randomized control trials (RCT).
Methods: Researcher’s implemented a meta-analysis of the effect of HIT
on CVD risk factors using data from randomized clinical trials in the past
30 years. They identified 21 eligible studies (23 estimates) with measurement
of SBP, 20 (22 estimates) of DBP, 14 (17 estimates) of HDL, 14 (17
estimates) of LDL, 15 (18 estimates) of triglycerides and 10 (12 estimates)
of weight across databases.
Results: They found significant reductions in SBP, DBP, LDL and TG and a
significant improvement in HDL associated with HIT.
Conclusions: As adjuvants to standard diabetic treatment, HIT can be
effective tools for improving CVD risk factors among patients with T2D,
especially in those whose CVD risk factors are not at goal.
