  • Efficacy and safety of telemedicine for blood glucose and pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review

    ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of telemedicine on blood glucose level and pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on efficacy of telemedicine on blood glucose and pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes from inception to January 1st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 1 267 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no statistical significances in fasting blood glucose (MD=−0.34, 95%CI −1.62 to 0.93, P=0.60), HbA1c (MD=−0.22, 95%CI −0.61 to 0.17, P=0.27), gestational age at delivery (MD=0.03, 95%CI −0.13 to 0.19, P=0.72), premature rate (OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.26 to 1.01, P=0.05), caesarean delivery rate (OR=0.87, 95%CI 0.57 to 1.31, P=0.51), infant birth weight (MD=13.01, 95%CI −45.75 to 71.78, P=0.66), large for gestational age rate (OR=1.16, 95%CI 0.83 to 1.62, P=0.40), pre- eclampsia/pregnancy induced hypertension rate (OR=1.04, 95%CI 0.52 to 2.09, P=0.91), neonatal hypoglycaemia rate (OR=1.21, 95%CI 0.75 to 1.95, P=0.44) and neonatal jaundice rate (OR=1.09, 95%CI 0.59 to 2.00, P=0.78) between telemedicine management and outpatient follow-up of gestational diabetes mellitus. However, the telemedicine management group had lower 2h postprandial blood glucose (MD=−3.45, 95%CI −5.53 to −1.37, P=0.001).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that telemedicine management of gestational diabetes mellitus achieves similar efficacy and safety in blood glucose level and pregnancy outcomes as outpatient follow-up. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
