Effect of exercise on quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A network meta-analysis of RCTs.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by a gradual deterioration of respiratory capacity, with worsening fatigue, weakness, activity intolerance, and dyspnea, influencing the person's emotional state and quality of life (QoL).

Objective: A network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to determine the effects of different physical activity interventions on overall QoL in people with COPD, followed by a meta-analysis on the effect of these interventions on the different domains of the QoL scales.

Methods: A literature search was performed from inception to December 2023.

Multidisciplinary home-based interventions in adverse events and quality of life among frail older people: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine the effects of multidisciplinary home-based interventions delivered by multidisciplinary teams to prevent adverse events (mortality, emergency visits, and hospital readmissions) and improve quality of life (QoL) among frail older adults.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature was conducted until November 2023. The Risk of bias of the randomized controlled trials was assessed via the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2.
