Physical Activity and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Protocol for Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the dose-response associations between total physical activity, different intensity of physical activity, and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods and analysis

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library will be searched from inception to June 2022. Only cohort studies assessing physical activity associations with all-cause mortality among CKD patients will be considered for inclusion. The quality of included cohort studies will be evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The robust error meta-regression (REMR) model will be used to establish dose-response relationships between physical activity and mortality. Additional statistical analysis including Egger's test, subgroup analysis, sens
