Table 8. Characteristics of studies included in the systematic review on the impact of PCa on T2DM control and treatments.
Author, year, country | Study design | No. of patients | Main outcomes | Main findings |
---|---|---|---|---|
Keating, 2014, USA [81] | Cohort with propensity matching | 2237 pairs of propensity matched men with PCa and T2DM who were or were not treated with ADT | The effect of ADT onT2DM control, as measured by HbA1c levels and the intensification of T2DM drug therapy. | HbA1c increased at 1 year for men treated with ADT (7.38 from 7.24 p value 0.04) Receipt of ADT was also associated with an increased risk of addition of T2DM medication (HR 1.20 95% CI: 1.09–1.32) |
Rowbottom, 2015, Canada [83] | Cohort | 30 GU Cancer patients: 26 PCa 4Bladder Ca | Change in T2DM management or hospitalisation due to T2DM in those receiving corticosteroids with chemotherapy | 40% required a change in their diabetes management (n = 4) 20% (n = 2) required hospitalisations |
Derweesh, 2007, USA [82] | Cohort | 77 patients | To assess worsening glycaemic control in men with established T2DM after starting ADT for PCa | An increase of ≥ 10% in serum HbA1c in 15 patients (19.5%)An increase of ≥ 10% in FBG in 22 patients (28.6%) |
