Therapeutic effects of exercise interventions for patients with chronic kidney disease: protocol for an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of clinical trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

An increasing number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of clinical trials have begun to investigate the effects of exercise interventions in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To systematically appraise and synthesise these results, we will conduct an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Methods and analysis

This is a protocol for an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We will search four databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of clinical trials evaluating the effect of exercise interventions on patients with CKD will be included. Two independent authors will screen titles and abstracts retrieved in the literature
