| Popis: | Peer-led intervention allows the patients to develop knowledge, skills and confidence in managing their own conditions. Hence this review was done to assess the effectiveness of peer-led intervention in improving the clinical outcomes of DM and HTN patients. We conducted systematic search in Medline, CENTRAL, Sciencedirect and Google-Scholar from inception till May 2018 and retrieved 3654 citations. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects model and pooled mean difference (MD) was reported with 95% CI. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test. 29 trials (26 DM and 3 HTN) with 6363 participants were included. There was positive effect of peer led intervention on DM and HTN with pooled MD of -0.28% [95%CI: -0.45 to -0.11] and -7.52mmHg [95%CI: -14.39 to -0.66]. There was significant heterogeneity and publication bias in both DM and HTN trials. Sensitivity analysis showed only little improvement in the final estimate. Peer support intervention is effective and causes statistically significant reduction in HbA1C and systolic blood pressure among DM and HTN patients. |
