Abstract The objective of this meta-analysis study was to evaluate the comparative efficacy of empagliflozin (25 mg) with placebo in the treatment and management of type 1 diabetes mellitus. This study is a meta-analysis, so an ethical statement is not required. Different databases and individual journal websites like SCOPUS, Science direct, Cochrane review library etc. were used. The articles were evaluated based on the search and eligibility criteria. A total of five RCTs were incorporated in this meta-analysis. These studies contained a total of 1058 patients, including 526 patients with placebo (or control-treated patients), and 532 patients with empagliflozin (25 mg) treated combination. The mean follow-up time ranged from 7 days to 6 months. Overall, mean reduction in placebo was -0.50% and empa-treated was -0.85%, while the pooled WMD was 3.82 995% CI 1.20 – 5.88, p=0.0001). Regarding urinary glucose excretion, that the pooled WMD was 6.67 (95% CI 4.87-10.14, p=0.001) indicated a significant increase in empa-arm compared to placebo. No heterogeneity was found (I2 – 15.03%). This meta-analysis underlined the therapeutic benefit of empagliflozin as an adjunctive therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes.

AbstractWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between mumps and risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Literature searches were conducted using Medline, EMBASE and Web of Science including studies published before February 2014. Crude and, where available, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted from the published reports of each included study. Combined OR estimates and tests of heterogeneity were obtained using meta-analysis techniques. The analysis was repeated in subgroups of studies on the basis of quality defined by the score on the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). In total, 18 articles met the eligibility criteria, and overall there was some evidence of a weak association between clinically diagnosed mumps and T1DM (OR=1.23, 95% CI 1.00–1.51; p=0.05) but marked heterogeneity between studies (I
