Semester 2, 2019: CSH600 Assignment 1 - Literature Review Analysis

This report presents a literature review on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for patients with type 1 diabetes, conducted as part of a CSH600 assignment at Queensland University of Technology. The review investigates the impact of CGM compared to self-monitoring on HbA1c levels and quality of life in patients aged 30-50. The methodology includes an analysis of randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials, with inclusion and exclusion criteria specified. The report details the search strategy, database results, and a PRISMA flow diagram. It assesses the risk of bias, including randomization, concealment, blinding, and baseline similarity, and discusses the external validity and limitations of the studies. The findings are synthesized to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of CGM, and the report includes a comprehensive list of references.
