Factors related to the risk of stroke in the population with type 2 diabetes: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke. The main role of the current study is to study the mechanism of stroke induced by diabetes, but there is no systematic summary of daily management and stroke prevention for patients with type 2 diabetes. In order to provide a more detailed stroke prevention program for patients with type 2 diabetes, we included in the study and looked forward to analyzing the risk factors that were more in line with the clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We will search the following Chinese and English databases: PubMed, Web of science, Cochrane Library, Medline, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database. All of the above electronic databases will be searched from inception to June 30, 2021. In addition, we will manually search for conference papers, ongoing experiments, and internal reports to supplement the studies retrieved via electronic search. We will use the STATA 16.0 provided by Cochrane Collaboration Network for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The study will prove a collective view on the relationship between related factors and stroke in the type 2 diabetes population. CONCLUSION: We plan to submit this systematic review to a peer-reviewed journal. INPLASY registration number: INPLASY2021100046
