mHealth Improves Self-Care And Reduces Rehospitalization
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis through June 2025 of 23 studies (n=2022) assessing mHealth interventions for organ transplant recipients. Meta-analysis found significant improvements in self-care ability (MD 14.49, 95% CI 9.61–19.36) and reduced rehospitalization (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.34–0.71), but no significant effects on mortality, rejection, or infection. The authors call for higher-quality trials on physical activity, nutrition, and patient-centered outcomes.
Key Points
- 1Demonstrates significant improvement in self-care ability (MD 14.49) across 23 studies and 2022 recipients
- 2Shows reduced rehospitalization (OR 0.49), indicating better posttransplant management and fewer readmissions
- 3Suggests practitioners can deploy mHealth to improve adherence and monitoring but not reduce mortality
Scoring Rationale
Systematic meta-analysis showing meaningful clinical benefits; limited by moderate novelty and inconclusive mortality or complication outcomes.
