Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate diabetes screening yield in tuberculosis patients, suggesting implications for improved management.

Key Points

This review aims to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and the effectiveness of screening among individuals with tuberculosis.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies from multiple databases including PubMed and Cochrane CENTRAL.
Included 33 studies with 19,581 individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis from 21 countries.
Screening outcomes pooled using random-effects meta-analysis stratified by WHO region and age.
Overall pooled yield of diabetes screening in individuals with tuberculosis was 7.8% (95% CI: 5.1–11.1).
Yield ranged from 2.6% in the Western Pacific region to 31.6% in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Findings indicate substantial heterogeneity across studies and lack of non-TB comparison groups.
