Objectives To systematically review the detection rate of depression in Chinese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM from inception to January, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by R 3.6.1 software.Results A total of 29 studies involving 96 557 cases were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM was 27% (95%CI 24% to 30%). Subgroup analysis showed that the detection rate of depression in female was 32% (95%CI 20% to 45%), and in male was 26% (95%CI 18% to 37%). The detection rate of depression in rural areas was 36% (95%CI 18% to 54%), and in urban areas was 30% (95%CI 16% to 43%). The detection rate of depression in individuals aged 60 and above was 31% (95%CI 24% to 39%), and in individuals aged less than 60 was 23% (95%CI 10% to 36%). Individuals with a primary school education and below, a middle or high school education and college degree and above education had detection rate of 31%, 23% and 22%, respectively. Individuals with diabetes duration less than 5 years, 5 to 10 years and more than 10 years had detection rates of 23%, 25% and 30%, respectively. Individuals with and without complications had detection rates of 43% and 26%, respectively. The detection rates of mild and moderate to major depression were 20% and 10%, respectively.Conclusions The detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM is high. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
