Prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of suboptimal glycemic control in persons with diabetes in Ghana: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Effective glycemic control is a cornerstone of diabetes management, essential for reducing the risk of complications and mortality.

This systematic review synthesizes the available evidence on the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of suboptimal glycemic control among individuals with diabetes in Ghana. Relevant observational studies were obtained through a systematic search conducted on PubMed, Medline, Embase, Global health, Scopus, and Web of Science, from their inception to November 29, 2024. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of suboptimal glycemic control, accounting for heterogeneity across
