The impact of insulin resistance on long-term outcomes in heart failure: a systematic review by Soumya Sri Pichuka

“…Search terms included mesh (insulin resistance, heart failure, Mortality, hospitalisation) and non-mesh (Long-term outcomes) terms. Boolean operations and truncations were used to refine results.Inclusion criteria included studies assessing IR in patients with HF (both preserved and reduced ejection fractions), and studies that reported long-term outcomes (≥6 months) addressing mortality, hospitalisations or functional decline.Exclusion criteria included studies focusing solely on T2DM without IR analysis, studies with an extremely small sample size (<50), or with high methodological bias, or with follow-up periods, where relevant.Tools, such as the Newcastle Ottawa scale and Cochrane’s risk of bias, were used to minimise bias and data were extracted into a table for comparison. …”
