Title
Effect of malaria on beta-carotene levels
Review Question
Are there any difference in beta-carotene levels in malaria patients as compared to uninfected controls? We used the PICO (P: population, I: intervention, C: control, O: outcome) method to identify studies that met the inclusion criteria. P is patients with malaria, I is none, C is patients without malaria, O beta-carotene levels.
Study Type Included
Inclusion criteria: Original studies in cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, case-control, and clinical trials will be considered and included for review. Exclusion criteria: case reports, case series, short reports, letters, non-original studies.
Condition Being Studied
Malaria is caused in humans by five species of single-celled eukaryotic Plasmodium parasites (mainly Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax) that are transmitted by the bite of Anopheles spp. mosquitoes. Malaria remains one of the most serious infectious diseases; it threatens nearly half of the world's population and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in 2015, predominantly among children in Africa. β-Carotene (beta-carotene) is an organic, strongly coloured red-orange pigment abundant in fungi, plants, and fruits. It is a member of the carotenes, which are terpenoids (isoprenoids), synthesized biochemically from eight isoprene units and thus having 40 carbons. Among the carotenes, β-carotene is distinguished by having beta-rings at both ends of the molecule. β-Carotene is biosynthesized from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate. β-carotene is the most common form of carotene in plants. Plant carotenoids are the primary dietary source of provitamin A worldwide, with β-carotene as the best-known provitamin A carotenoid
Participant
Inclusion criteria: studies that reported beta-carotene levels in patients with malaria with any severity. Exclusion criteria: studies that reported beta-carotene levels in patients with malaria but patients were treated drugs.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Comparator Control
Inclusion criteria: studies that reported patients without malaria with data on beta-carotene levels in . Exclusion criteria: studies that reported data on beta-carotene levels in (among uninfected controls) but the information in control group could not be extracted.
Main Outcome
The main outcome is the pooled mean difference (or SMD) of beta-carotene levels and odds or risk of malaria infection/severity. Measures of effect The pooled mean difference (or SMD) of beta-carotene levels between malaria and non-malaria will be estimated using random effects model.
Outcome Measure
Additional Outcome
The additional outcome will be the pooled mean difference (or qualitative synthesis) of beta-carotene levels between severe and non-severe malaria. Measures of effect The pooled mean difference (or SMD) of beta-carotene levels between severe and non-severe malaria will be estimated using random effects model.
