AU - Schmidt, Bey-MarriƩ PY - 2020 DA - 2020/07/13 TI - Screening strategies for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review protocol JO - Systematic Reviews SP - 156 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - There is limited evidence on whether screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus affects health outcomes. A recent systematic review of randomised clinical trials found only one trial that met their inclusion criteria; therefore, current guidelines for screening interventions for type 2 diabetes mellitus are based on expert opinions and best practice rather than synthesised evidence. This systematic review seeks to collate evidence from non-randomised studies to investigate the effect of screening for adults with type 2 diabetes on outcomes including diabetes-related morbidity, mortality (all-cause and diabetes-related) and harms.
