Effectiveness of Peri-Discharge Complex Interventions for Reducing 30-Day Readmissions among COPD Patients: Overview of Systematic Reviews and Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An overview of systematic reviews(SRs) and network meta-analysis(NMA) were conducted to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of peri-discharge complex interventions for reducing 30-day readmissions among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients.

Methods

Five databases were searched for SRs of randomized controlled trials(RCTs). An additional search was conducted for updated RCTs from database inception until Jun 2020. Pooled effect of peri-discharge complex interventions was assessed using random-effect pairwise meta-analyses. Comparative effectiveness across different peri-discharge complex interventions was evaluated using NMA.

Results

Nine SRs and 11 eligible RCTs(n = 1,422) assessing eight different peri-discharge complex interventions wer
