Effectiveness of nurse-led care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study sought to assess the effectiveness of nurse-led care (NLC) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive search of the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov databases and the references from relevant literature published prior to May 2023. Two independent reviewers assessed the studies using population/intervention/comparison/outcome/study criteria, and quantitative tools were used to gauge the methodological quality of the included studies. Independent quality assessments were carried out using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk-of-bias tool. Effect sizes were determined using mean difference (MD) or standardised mean difference (SMD) with corresponding 95% CIs.
