Risk factors for Lipohypertrophy in People With Insulin-Treated Diabetes: A Systematic Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lipohypertrophy is a common skin complication in people with insulin-treated diabetes. Despite its high prevalence and potential impact on diabetes management and outcomes, published data regarding the risk factors for the development of this complication are contradictory. The study aimed to determine risk factors for lipohypertrophy related to patient characteristics and insulin therapy.

Method

Medical databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL) were searched from 1990 to August 21, 2023. All relevant studies describing potential risk factors for lipohypertrophy in people with insulin-treated diabetes (eg, sex, age, body mass index [BMI], type of diabetes, and injection technique) were included. Data enabling calculations of prevalence odds ratios (pOR) and mean
