Type 2 diabetes complications in ethnic minority compared with European host populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify differences in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications between ethnic minority populations and European host populations, in both cross-sectional and prospective studies. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched multiple databases for studies (until July 1, 2024) with T2D complications as outcome. Studies were included if they compared ethnic minority populations to the host population and were conducted in Europe. T2D complications included mortality, macrovascular and microvascular complications and mental disorders. Risk of bias was assessed with the assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. Risk estimates were pooled using random effects models.
