Yet, the effectiveness of HBCTR as an alternative to Phase 2 CBCR is unknown. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to quantitatively appraise the effectiveness of HBCTR.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Scopus, and PsycINFO were searched from inception to January 2021. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing HBCTR to Phase 2 CBCR or usual care in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Out of 1588 studies, 14 RCTs involving 2869 CHD patients were included in this review. When compared with usual care, participation in HBCTR showed significant improvement in functional capacity {6-min walking test distance [mean difference (MD) 25.58\u2009m, 95% confidence interval (CI) 14.74\u201336.42]}; daily step count (MD 1.05\u2009K, 95% CI 0.36\u20131.75) and exercise habits [odds ratio (OR) 2.28, 95% CI 1.30\u20134.00)]; depression scores (standardized MD \u22120.16, 95% CI \u22120.32 to 0.01) and quality of life [Short-Form mental component summary (MD 2.63, 95% CI 0.06\u20135.20) and physical component summary (MD 1.99, 95% CI 0.83\u20133.16)]. Effects on medication adherence were synthesized narratively.

When HBCTR was compared to CBCR, an equivalent effect on functional capacity, PA behaviour, QoL, medication adherence, smoking behaviour, physiological risk factors, depression, and cardiac-related hospitalization was observed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjpc\/zwab106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,2]],"date-time":"2021-06-02T20:33:08Z","timestamp":1622665988000},"page":"1017-1043","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":189,"title":["Effectiveness of home-based cardiac telerehabilitation as an alternative to Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation of coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9576-7607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hadassah Joann","family":"Ramachandran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore , Block MD 11, 10 Medical Drive , Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore , Block MD 11, 10 Medical Drive , Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wilson Wai San","family":"Tam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore , Block MD 11, 10 Medical Drive , Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tee Joo","family":"Yeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Rehabilitation, Department of Cardiology, National University Heart Centre , Singapore, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenru","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore , Block MD 11, 10 Medical Drive , Singapore 117597, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022053116091807600_zwab106-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"h5000","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.h5000","article-title":"Cardiac rehabilitation","volume":"351","author":"Dalal","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2022053116091807600_zwab106-B2","first-page":"2047487320913379","article-title":"Secondary prevention through comprehensive cardiovascular rehabilitation: from knowledge to implementation. 2020 update.
