Effectiveness of mHealth interventions for improving hypertension control in uncontrolled hypertensive patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT: The benefits of mHealth interventions in uncontrolled hypertension are unclear. To determine whether mHealth effectively improves the control rate of uncontrolled hypertension. PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from January 2007 to September 2022. The intervention group consisted of mHealth intervention, and the control group was usual care. Random-effects meta-analysis models were used to assess pooled mHealth intervention effects and CIs.
