Therapeutic use of serious games in mental health: scoping review.

Background: There has been an increase in the development and application of serious games to support management of mental ill health, but their full impact is unclear.

Aims: Evaluation of the current evidence of acceptability and effectiveness of serious games in improving mental health disorders.

Method: A PRISMA-guided scoping review was conducted, using a predefined criteria and a relevant word combination on three databases: EMBASE, Medline and PsycINFO.

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for stable angina: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: A systematic review was undertaken to assess the effects of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for patients with stable angina.

Methods: Databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL) were searched up to October 2017, without language restriction. Randomised trials comparing CR programmes with no exercise control in adults with stable angina were included.

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for adults with stable angina.

Background: A previous Cochrane review has shown that exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can benefit myocardial infarction and post-revascularisation patients. However, the impact on stable angina remains unclear and guidance is inconsistent. Whilst recommended in the guidelines of American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology, in the UK the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) states that there is "no evidence to suggest that CR is clinically or cost-effective for managing stable angina".
