Descriptive synthesis was performed to summarise modelling trends and intervention performance. Studies were classified into major intervention categories, including tracing, testing and isolation (TTI); physical and social distancing (PSD); vaccination; lockdowns; mask-wearing; home office or stay-at-home (HOSH) and health infrastructure enhancement (HIE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Out of 2297 studies identified, 126 met inclusion criteria. Compartmental models were the most frequently used approach, primarily relying on case and death counts to assess intervention impact. The most commonly reported effective interventions were TTI, PSD, vaccination, lockdowns, mask-wearing and HOSH. When considering effectiveness relative to study frequency, the top six interventions were TTI, HOSH, mask-wearing, HIE, PSD and lockdowns. The relatively lower representation of vaccination reflects that most included studies were conducted during the early stages of the pandemic, before widespread vaccine rollout and availability of empirical vaccination data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review highlights the critical role of data-driven models in guiding COVID-19 response strategies. Evidence supports the combined effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, robust testing and tracing systems and health infrastructure strengthening. Real-world impact, however, remains dependent on local healthcare capacity, socioeconomic conditions and cultural contexts. Continued research is essential to refine adaptive modelling approaches and strengthen preparedness for future public health emergencies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-107660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]],"date-time":"2026-01-13T15:50:21Z","timestamp":1768319421000},"page":"e107660","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Data-driven strategies for model-informed decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3884-6381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehdi","family":"Lotfi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Bioinformatics, University Medicine Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Kaderali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Bioinformatics, University Medicine Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011307453074000_16.1.e107660.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrtlng.2022.12.004","article-title":"Interventions using digital technology to promote family engagement in the adult intensive care unit: An integrative review","volume":"58","author":"Shin","year":"2023","journal-title":"Heart & Lung"},{"key":"2026011307453074000_16.1.e107660.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2022-061477","article-title":"COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"12","author":"Bhattacharya","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2026011307453074000_16.1.e107660.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12960-022-00724-1"},{"key":"2026011307453074000_16.1.e107660.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.2022.0471","article-title":"Mathematical Modeling of COVID-19 Transmission and Intervention in South Korea: A Review of Literature","volume":"64","author":"Lee","year":"2023","journal-title":"Yonsei Med J"},{"key":"2026011307453074000_16.1.e107660.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lorig F , Johansson E , Davidsson P .
