Efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy in patients with Diabetes Mellitus – a systematic review and meta-analysis Manikandan S, Roopa Hariprasad, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally Systematic Reviews, 2026 To support the development of a national guideline on stem cell therapy, the Department of Health Research, India, commissioned this systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various stem cell types in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), focusing on patient-important outcomes. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from inception to August 30, 2024. Critical outcomes for type 1 DM included insulin-free periods, hypoglycemic episodes, quality of life, and serious adverse events. For type 2 DM, outcomes included HbA1c, insulin requirements at 6, 12, and 24 months, and serious adverse events. Meta-analyses used random- or fixed-effects models based on heterogeneity (Chi-square test and I2). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0, and evidence certainty was evaluated with GRADE. The search identified 11,026 articles, of which 20 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, encompassing 427 and 351 patients in the intervention and control groups, respectively, with follow-ups ranging from 3 to 96 months. Predominantly studied therapies included mesenchymal and bone marrow mononuclear stem cells. In type 1 DM, stem cell therapy showed no significant improvement in quality of life [MD: 3.15% (95% CI: -0.80 to 7.10); 2 trials, n = 63 participants; I2 = 0%; GRADE: very low certainty] or reduction in hypoglycemic episodes [RR: 0.90 (95% CI: 0.56 to 1.45); 3 trials, 68 participants; I2 – 0%; GRADE: very low. In type 2 DM, stem cell therapy significantly reduced insulin requirements at 6, 12, and 24 months, with MDs in IU/day of -14.42 (95% CI: -24.25 to -4.59); 6 trials, n = 167 participants; I2 = 91.64%; GRADE: low certainty; -17.79 (95% CI: -26.39 to -9.18); 6 trials, n = 212 participants; I2 = 70.96%; GRADE: low certainty; and -35.73 (95% CI: -40.82 to -30.64); 1 trial, n = 61 participants; I2 = NA; GRADE: very low certainty, respectively, with a low certainty of evidence. Stem cell therapy did not achieve an insulin-free state or improved quality of life in type 1 DM patients. However, it reduced insulin requirements by 14–36 units over 6–24 months in type 2 DM patients, without significant glycemic control. Larger, high-quality RCTs with extended follow-ups are essential to determine the therapeutic potential of stem cell therapy in diabetes mellitus. PROSPERO ID: CRD42023451602.
Out of pocket expenditure incurred by couples seeking infertility services at tertiary level facilities in India Asim Kumar Padhan, Prerana Patil, Akshita Vikani, Deepshikha Sharma, Oshima Sachin, Biju Somen, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally, Renu Tanwar, Vanita Suri, Radha V., Anitha M., Ramesh P., Deepti Shrivastava, Sukhpreet Patel, Shankar Prinja, Beena Joshi Indian Journal of Medical Research, 2026 Background and objectives Diagnosis and treatment of infertility, mostly sought at tertiary facilities, contribute to substantial out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE). This study estimated OOPE among couples seeking care for endometriosis, male infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), tubal factor, and uterine factor, including costs of diagnosis, management, and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted across five tertiary healthcare facilities (three public, two private) selected through convenience sampling to represent different regions. Based on mean (SD) OOPE INR (₹)144,393 (₹130,943), effect size 0.16, α=0.05, and 80% power, the sample was equally distributed across sites and IVF/non-IVF groups, with ∼100 participants per site. Couples were interviewed between April 2022–March 2023. Catastrophic health expenditure was defined as infertility spending exceeding 40% of annual household non-food expenditure. OOPE over the preceding year covered direct medical, non-medical, and indirect costs. Results Annual median OOPE was ₹11,317 (US $136.5) (IQR: ₹4,801–₹19,513) US $, higher in private facilities ₹14,217 ($171.4) (IQR: ₹8,030–₹21,848) than public facilities ₹8,355 ($100.7) (IQR: ₹3,785–₹17,386). Direct medical costs were the major contributor: median ₹5,802 ($69.9) (IQR: ₹2,186–₹11,847) Highest OOPE was for endometriosis ₹15,084 ($181.9) (IQR: ₹8,114–₹20,758), followed by uterine factor and male infertility ₹13,211 ($159.3) (IQR: ₹6,654–₹21,521). OOPE increased with absence of insurance (₹6,919; $83.4), comorbidities (₹2,593; $31.3), IUI (₹2,668; $32.1), and PCOS (₹2,004; $24.1). Catastrophic Health Expenditure was associated with comorbidities (OR=1.61), IUI (OR=1.88), and lower per capita income <₹59,400 ($715.7) (OR=3.44). Overall, 59.4% experienced CHE. Interpretation and conclusions Infertility care imposes substantial out of pocket expenditure in India. Strengthened insurance coverage and public sector investment are critical for equitable access.
Efficacy of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Compared with GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Treatment in Preventing Mortality and Major Adverse Cardiac Events Among Individuals with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Joshua Chadwick, Chandru Sivamani, Suchitra Lakshmi, Vishali Baskaran, Swathi N.L., Lavanya Ayyasamy, Ganeshkumar Parasuraman, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally Obesity Surgery, 2026 Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are effective interventions for T2DM and obesity, but comparative evidence on their long-term impact on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of MBS versus GLP-1 RAs therapy in reducing these outcomes. The review was registered in PROSPERO beforehand and carried out following the PRISMA framework. A comprehensive literature search identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing MBS with GLP-1 RAs regimens in adults with obesity and T2DM. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and MACE. We used the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 (ROB 2) tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) to assess the quality of the study. Meta-analytic techniques were used to synthesize effect estimates. Pooled analysis of eligible studies suggested that MBS offered greater reductions in both MACE and all-cause mortality than GLP-1 RAs therapy. The relative risk reduction for MACE was approximately 52% in favor of MBS. Despite notable heterogeneity, sensitivity analyses confirmed result robustness. The overall certainty of evidence was moderate, reflecting variations in populations, interventions, and study designs. MBS offers significantly greater cardiovascular protection than GLP-1 RAs therapy in individual with obesity and T2DM, reducing MACE and all-cause mortality. GLP-1 RAs remains an important option, particularly for patients contraindicated for surgery or preferring pharmacotherapy. Further long-term comparative and cost effectiveness studies are needed to inform the clinical decisions.
Efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy vs. standard of care in patients diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Jerin Jose Cherian, Saibal Das, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally, Madhavi Eerike, Sayan Nath, Alka Khadwal Frontiers in Medicine, 2026 Objectives This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapies as compared to the standard of care (SOC) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods Search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials was performed. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023467612). The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality on day 28 and serious adverse events. Risk ratios (RR) and mean differences were pooled using Stata software version 17.0. Quality of the evidence was assessed by GRADE approach. Results Out of 5,537 articles screened, 17 were included. Treatment with stem cells led to no significant difference in the risk of 28-day mortality [RR, 0.809 (95% CI: 0.651–1.005), p = 0.06; I 2 = 0%] or the risk of serious adverse events [RR, 0.94 (95% CI: 0.80–1.12), p = 0.36; I 2 = 8.58%] as compared to treatment with SOC. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in the duration of hospitalization, the number of ventilator-free days till day 28, 60-day all-cause mortality, intensive care unit (ICU)-free days till day 28, change in quality-of-life (QoL) score, and the duration of ICU stay, PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio, change in SOFA score, and change in serum interleukin 6 and 8 levels. The GRADE of evidence was low or very low for the critical outcomes. Conclusion There was no significant improvement in critical outcomes following stem cell therapy as compared to the SOC in ARDS. The certainty of evidence was low to very low, indicating limited confidence in the findings. Systematic Trial registration PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023467612)
Coverage and determinants of Mass Drug Administration against lymphatic filariasis in Southeast Asian regional countries during the end-game strategy: A systematic review and meta-analysis Indranil Saha, Joydeep Majumder, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally, Deepanjan Ray, Saibal Das, Manoj Kalita, M Devaraja, Anoop Velayudhan, Devi Das, Bobby Paul, Sanjit Dey Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2026 Background & objectives: Mass Drug Administration (MDA) is one of the important pillars of eliminating lymphatic filariasis. The present study aimed to determine the pooled coverage and compliance of MDA and its determinants in the Southeast Asian regional countries. Methods: This proposal was registered in PROSPERO. The study focused on four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Central) and articles published between January 2019 and March 2025. The setting was taken from studies performed across the Southeast Asian Region. Stata Version 17 was used for meta-analysis of the selected studies. The overall and subgroup-wise analysis was computed using the DerSimonian-Laird method for the random-effects model in Forest plots. A funnel plot was done to find out the publication bias. Results: Altogether, 34 articles were analysed. Of the 34 articles, 28 (82.3%) and 4 (11.8%) articles were published in India and Indonesia, respectively. The pooled coverage and compliance of MDA were found to be 80.16% (95% CI: 74.68-85.64%) and 67.25% (95% CI: 60.17-74.33%), respectively. Subgroup-wise, both coverage and compliance decreased in studies conducted in 2020 or afterwards. Side effects of the drugs, non-diseased status, suffering from some other diseases, too many drugs, bad taste of the drugs were some of the common barriers to successful MDA implementation. Interpretation & conclusion: Thus, time has come to develop strategies to improve MDA coverage and compliance at the community level. The strategy would be bilateral, involving both providers and beneficiaries, who need to be engaged in the proper implementation of MDA administration at the grassroot level.
Pulmonary function among flour mill workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis Kuldip Upadhyay, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally, Rakesh Balachandar, Ankit Sheth, Ankit Viramgami BMC Public Health, 2025 Flour dust, with an inherent allergic nature, increases vulnerability to various respiratory ailments. We systemically reviewed and compared literature-reported pulmonary function parameters to quantify pulmonary dysfunction among individuals with high flour dust exposure (among flour mill workers) and relatively un-exposed groups. Studies that compared pulmonary function parameters for flour dust exposed and unexposed control groups were systemically searched in PubMed, Scopus and Embase from inception to June 2024. The Newcastle Ottawa scale was used to assess the risk of bias among included studies. With the random effect model, we pooled (along with 95% CI) the mean difference for forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the ratio of FEV1 & FVC, mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75%), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and other pulmonary function parameters. Cochran-Q test and I2 statistics were applied to determine heterogeneity. This quantitative synthesis included twenty-two studies involving 2,482 flour dust exposed and 1,925 control participants. The pooled mean difference for FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR and FEF25 − 75% were − 0.43 L (-0.57, -0.29; I2 = 88.7), -0.49 L (-0.64, -0.33; I2 = 89.3), -3.5% (-6.49, -0.5; I2 = 89.7), -1.36 L/s (-1.70, -1.03; I2 = 90.4) and − 0.34 L/s (-0.63, -0.06; I2 = 77.3). The pooled odds ratio for obstructive [12.9 (3.41, 49.2); I2 = 82.4)] and restrictive changes [5.11 (0.55, 47.4); I2 = 81.6] were significantly higher among the exposed than controls. As per the bias assessment majority of studies rated with moderate to severe risk of bias. Study observed pulmonary function deficits associated with exposure to flour dust. However, considering the quality of primary studies and higher heterogeneity, high-quality larger studies with longitudinal design are required to affirm the effects of flour dust on lung function.
Prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition among adolescents in India: a systematic review Jayashree Parida, Bhavani Shankara Bagepally, Prasanna Kumar Patra, Sanghamitra Pati, Harpreet Kaur, Subhendu Kumar Acharya BMC Public Health, 2025 BACKGROUND: Undernutrition is a major public health challenge among Indian adolescents in India where 253 million of them are in the age group of 10-19 years. In spite of several intensive efforts through various program interventions and care, research studies find a less encouraging improvement in nutritional scenarios. The present systematic review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition (stunting and underweight) among Indian adolescents. METHODS: We searched e-databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library for the period between the years 2000 and 2021. The peer-reviewed and empirical studies analyzing the prevalence of undernutrition among Indian adolescents and its associated factors were eligible for inclusion. The quality of the study reports included in the review was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The random-effect model with the Dersimonian and Laird method, at 95% confidence intervals, was used for estimating the overall effect. Subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the possible sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed through visual examination of funnel plots and objectively by Egger's regression test. RESULTS: A total of forty eligible studies with a pooled sample size of 67,865 adolescents were included to determine the prevalence of undernutrition among adolescents in India. The pooled prevalence of stunting and underweight in India was 41.1% (95% CI: 35.9, 46.0) and 32.6% (95% CI: 26.8, 37.1) respectively. It was also found that the rate of stunting prevalence was high among late adolescents and underweight was high among early adolescents. Age, gender, income, family size, caste, parental education, and occupation were the significant associated factors of the prevalence of stunting and underweight among adolescents in India. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of stunting and underweight among adolescents is still a high concern in India. The results of this review posit the need of an integrated effort to reduce undernutrition in India and identify research priorities in this field.
