Carta 1986

Methods

"Randomly assigned" no other information reported.

Participants

15 women with type 1 diabetes (13 on conventional insulin therapy, 2 on continuous insulin therapy) and 14 women with type 2 diabetes (4 were on oral hypoglycaemics, 10 diet‐controlled). Recruitment occurred in the first trimester, 2 women allocated to CSII had already been using a CSII pump pre‐conceptually.

Interventions

CSII versus MDI. Participants were hospitalised initially in order to achieve optimal glycaemic control, diet was prescribed according to individual needs. A Microject MC 20 portable syringe pump was used with porcine insulin (Actrapid MC) 40 U/mL, adjustments were made to the dosage in order to obtain strict glycaemic control (fasting BG < 80 + 10 mg/dL, postprandial BG < 120 mg/dL). Participants randomised to the MDI dose were given Actrapid MC split into 4 boluses.

Outcomes

Maternal and neonatal mortality, large‐for‐gestational age, fetal anomaly and hypoglycaemia, weight gain during pregnancy, mean 24‐hour BG, mean HbA1c, gestational age at delivery, preterm birth, birthweight and rate of instrumental delivery.

Notes

Single‐centre trial in Italy. Participants and their neonates were followed up at delivery and for the first 2 days postnatally.

Nosari 1993

Methods

"Randomly allocated", using sealed envelopes.

Participants

31 women with type 1 insulin‐dependent diabetes included undergoing 32 pregnancies, 1 woman included twice for separate pregnancies. 4 women were recruited in the pre‐conception period, 28 women recruited during their first trimester. The women were described as highly motivated and referred to their centre for intensive therapy.

Interventions

Allocated either CSII or MDI. Microject MC 20 and Daedi B.V. portable battery‐powered syringe infusion pumps, participants receiving MDI had 4 daily insulin injections (regular insulin at each meal and intermediate acting insulin at night, type of insulin used was not stated).

Outcomes

Maternal and neonatal mortality, large‐for‐gestational age, fetal anomaly and hypoglycaemia, mean 24‐hour BG, mean HbA1c, gestational age at delivery, preterm birth, Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes, respiratory distress syndrome, birthweight and rate of instrumental delivery.

Outcomes

Perinatal mortality, large‐for‐gestational age, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, mean 24‐hour BG in each trimester, and respiratory distress syndrome.

BG: blood glucose

Characteristics of excluded studies [ordered by study ID]

Study

Reason for exclusion

Burkart 1988

Exclusion of MDI group participants from analysis if normoglycaemia not achieved (number not reported).

Collaborative 1993

Wrong intervention: conventional versus intensive therapy, rather than CSII versus MDI. Women using CSII and MDI therapy included in the intensive therapy group.

Coustan 1986

21 women randomised antenatally (1 randomised twice for separate pregnancies), gestation at randomisation not stated, therefore length of treatment may be inconsistent. 7 women randomised in the pre‐conceptual period, conceiving between 2 weeks and 1 year. The differences in time to conceive and treatment length is likely to lead to inconsistency of treatment effects.

Ignatova 2007

Probably not a randomised study: 41 women were "divided" into 2 groups. Number of women included in the study and by study group inconsistently reported (41 women included and 21 in each of the 2 groups).

Laatikainen 1987

30 women randomised, 9 declined CSII, so did not receive the allocated intervention and were reported as a separate group, thus potentially confounding the results.

Murphy 2011

Wrong intervention: 2‐arm cross‐over trial comparing closed‐loop versus conventional CSII.

Zoupas 1991

No methods or data provided by trial authors, therefore assessment of the trial is not possible.

CSII: continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
MDI: multiple daily injection

Characteristics of ongoing studies [ordered by study ID]

Stewart 2014

Trial name or title

CLIP‐03.

Methods

2‐arm cross‐over trial comparing closed‐loop CSII overnight with not closed‐loop (continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump but not closed‐loop) CSII overnight.

Participants

Pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, 8‐24 weeks GA.

Setting: UK.

Interventions

Closed‐loop CSII overnight versus continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump but not closed‐loop.

Outcomes

Overnight time spent in the target glucose range (3.5‐7.8 mmol/L), number of episodes of nocturnal hypoglycaemia, duration and outcome of events. Frequency and duration of use of the closed‐loop system, users’ responses (lifestyle change and diabetes self‐management). Overnight time above and below target range, metabolic control, trends in CGM data.

Starting date

01/04/2014.

Contact information

Dr Zoe Stewart.

Notes

This study may not be eligible for inclusion, because it does not compare CSII with MDI.

Thompson 2014

Trial name or title

Methods

2‐arm randomised trial, comparing insulin pump with multiple daily insulin injection. Single‐blind (outcome assessor). The information indicates that allocation is “randomized”, there is no description of the method.

Setting: Canada.

Interventions

Insulin pump versus multiple daily insulin injections.

Outcomes

Composite obstetric/perinatal morbidity or mortality, mean maternal HbA1c during pregnancy, number of episodes of severe hypoglycaemia.

Starting date

April 2014.

CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect
