- Abstract:
Purpose: Increasing epidemiologic evidence suggests that diabetes mellitus (DM) may be associated with a decreased risk of glioma. This systematic review assessed whether DM was associated with glioma risk.
Methods: Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases up to August 30, 2018. A random-effects model was performed to calculate summary effect size with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: In total, 10 studies (eight case-control studies and two cohort studies) matched the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses of case-control studies showed that DM decreased the risk of glioma by 23% (odds ratio: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.96; P = .02, I 2 = 82.0%). However, no such effect was observed in cohort studies (relative risk: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.10-4.80; P = .72, I 2 = 61.6%). In the subgroup analyses, DM was associated with a decreased risk of glioma in Caucasians but not in Asians; the inverse association was slightly higher in males than in females.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that DM decreases the risk of glioma, but the inverse association may vary in subgroups. The present conclusions should be confirmed with further studies.
