Exercise therapy and self-management support are promising interventions, but their effect has not been evaluated. We hypothesized that exercise therapy and self-management support were superior to usual care alone in improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with multimorbidity. In this pragmatic multicenter, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (MOBILIZE), we enrolled 228 adult patients with two or more selected long-term conditions that limited their daily activities, but who were able to walk at least 3\u2009meters without assistance, and who did not have unstable health conditions, life expectancy less than 12\u2009months, or selected psychiatric conditions. Patients were randomized (1:1) to a 12\u2009week personalized exercise therapy and self-management support program in addition to usual care or usual care alone. The primary outcome was HRQoL (using the EQ-5D-5L (European Quality of Life 5-dimensions 5-level version), ranging from \u22120.758 to 1, with higher scores being better) at 12\u2009months, while secondary outcomes included functional performance (6\u2009minute walk test and the 30\u2009second chair-stand test), serious adverse events (SAEs), physical activity level (steps per day and minutes per day of at least light intensity measured with accelerometers), disease burden (Bayliss burden of illness measure), depression (Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-8), anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7), self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease scale), disability (12\u2009item WHO Disability Assessment Schedule) and self-rated health (EQ-VAS (EuroQoL Visual Analog Scale)). In total, 197 of 228 participants (86%) completed the 12\u2009month follow-up. On intention-to-treat analysis the exercise therapy and self-management support program had a statistically significantly greater effect on HRQoL than usual care alone (0.050 versus \u22120.014; adjusted mean difference, 0.064\u2009points; 95% CI: 0.014\u20130.115). There were 36 and 48 SAEs in the exercise therapy and self-management group and usual care group, respectively (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.388). Among the other secondary outcomes, only self-rated health was statistically significantly different between the groups (adjusted mean difference, 6.9\u2009points; 95% CI: 1.8\u201312.1), in favor of the intervention group. In conclusion, this trial suggests that personalized exercise therapy and self-management support are more effective than usual care alone in improving health-related quality of life at 12\u2009months in adults with multimorbidity, without compromising safety. The clinical relevance of the results remains unclear.
