Abstract Background: Individuals with prediabetic state are much more likely to develop Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (TD2M) 4 times greater than those with normal glucose tolerance. Lifestyle changes such as daily physical activity and healthy diets can decrease the risk of prediabetic state . Mobile applications intervention could be one of the solutions to improve self-management awareness and compliance of prediabetic state intervention. There are no studies in systematic reviews of mobile phone applications intervention to prevent prediabetic state yet. Therefore, the objective of this study was to collect and summarize the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the effectiveness of mobile phone applications for intervention in prediabetic state patients.Methods: This protocol was prepared in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. The database that will be used includes PubMed, ProQuest and EBSCO with date restriction between January 2007 and July 2019 in English language only. Identification of articles will be done independently by three reviewers through the title of the articles, reviewing the abstract, and then the full-text-article. Any disagreement will be resolved by consensus. The quality assessment and possible risk of bias will be evaluated using forms adapted from the Jadad score. Extraction and content analysis will be performed systematically. Quantitative data will be presented graphically via forest plot with 95% confidence intervals. Where possible we will explore the heterogeneity and continue to conduct meta-analysis using RevMan software package. Discussion: Changes in lifestyle, such as daily physical activity and a nutritious diet, can help to reduce the risk of prediabetes. Mobile phone applications, including health-related applications, is demonstrated to have a lot of promise in terms of providing tailored medical recommendations. Conclusion: The proposed systematic review and meta-analyses will allow us to obtain the evidence exploring the effectiveness of mobile phone applications for intervention in prediabetic state patients.Systematic review registration: This protocol has been registered in the Prospective Registry of Systematic Review (PROSPERO) database (CRD42021243813).

Health Applications

Background: Mobile health applications are increasingly used in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to improve their self-management, nonetheless, without firm evidence of their efficacy. This meta-analysis was aimed to assess the efficacy of mobile health applications in supporting self-management as an intervention to reduce hospital admission rates and average days of hospitalization, etc. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science (SCI), Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched for relevant articles published before November 14th, 2017. A total of 6 reports with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were finally included in this meta-analysis. Results: Patients using mobile phone applications may have a lower risk for hospital admissions than those in the usual care group (risk ratio (RR) = 0.73, 95% CI [0.52, 1.04]). However, there was no significant difference in reducing the average days of hospitalization. Conclusion: Self-management with mobile phone applications could reduce hospital admissions of patients with COPD.

The Relationship

This systematic review aimed to find attitudes toward Altruistic and Game-playing love styles across individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Addressing major moderators concerning Altruistic and Game-playing love styles are the secondary objectives of this review. This review included 102 articles comprising samples from 37 countries (N = 41997). The findings of this meta-analysis show that there is a collectivistic and individualistic difference in Game-playing but not in the Altruistic love style. Collectivistic and individualistic cultures, on average, demonstrate the same perception concerning the Altruistic love style, whereas collectivistic culture shows the Game-playing love style more strongly. To explain the role of moderators in key measures, the subgroup analysis and meta-regression show that both Game-playing and Altruistic love styles decline by increasing the length of the relationship. Likewise, having children affects these love styles such that the Altruistic love style is improved, and the Game-playing love style is reduced by the presence of children in families.
