Collaborative care interventions have been proposed as a promising strategy for the management of patients with multimorbidity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness of collaborative care interventions for adult patients with multimorbidity. Furthermore, a meta-regression analysis is planned to determine if certain participant or intervention characteristics can explain variance in effect.
