Efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Background:A numerous studies have reported that obese patients (OP) are easily to have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although a variety of managements are available to treat such disorder, their efficacy is still limited. Previous studies have reported that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSGT) can benefit OP with T2DM. However, no study specifically and systematically explores this topic. Thus, this study will assess the efficacy and complications of LSGT for the management of OP with T2DM.Methods:The search strategy will be performed in the electronic databases from inception to the March 31, 2020 without limitations of language and publication time: PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, AMED, WANGFANG, VIP, and CNKI. Two authors will independently identify the articles, collect the data, and assess the risk of bias using Cochrane risk of bias tool. We will invite a third author to solve any differences between two authors. We will use RevMan 5.3 software to investigate the statistical analysis.Results:This study will supply a high-quality synthesis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the analysis of LSGT for the management of OP with T2DM.Conclusions:This study will help to build proposals that aim at providing high quality RCTs in the management of LSGT in OP with T2DM.Systematic review registration:INPLASY202040128.
