Effects of different exercise-based rehabilitation programs in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension and related pulmonary hypertension populations: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and related pulmonary hypertension populations are associated with impaired exercise capacity and reduced quality of life. Supervised exercise rehabilitation is recommended for clinically stable patients, but the relative effects and certainty of evidence for different exercise components and combinations remain uncertain.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. The review was initiated on 1 July 2025 and registered in PROSPERO on 18 July 2025. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang were searched from database inception, defined as the earliest records indexed in each database, to 2 June 2026, together with reference lists
