Effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors inhibitor on cognitive dysfunction in diabetes: A protocol for systematic...

There is a risk of cognitive impairment in diabetic patients. Some studies have shown that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4) inhibitors can play a protective role in controlling blood glucose and blocking the DPP-4 to attach antibody glucagon-like peptide -1 degradation and prolong antibody glucagon-like peptide -1, promoting the growth of neurites and the formation of synapses. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the DPP-4 inhibitor on cognitive impairment in diabetic patients by meta-analysis.

The system review plan will strictly follow the Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols entry for reporting. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Clinicaltrials(clinicaltrials.gov), Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database and Wanfang Databases will be systematically searched, and all randomized controlled trials comparing DPP-4 inhibitors with placebo or other hypoglycemic drugs to study cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetic patients will be included. The inclusion, evaluation and data extraction of the literature will be conducted by 2 persons independently, and the dispute will be resolved by a third person. All the meta-analysis of the included literature and the research progress of the existing research are analyzed as the main results.

It is to evaluate and analyze the completed research, so there is no ethical problem. The research results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis was registered on International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (https://inplasy.com/) (number. 202040185).
