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%)
