Publication bias was explored using visual inspection of funnel plots. Data were narratively synthesised to summarise BLT protocolisation, adherence and impact on circadian rhythm and delirium incidence. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate pooled risk ratios (RRs) for delirium incidence. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight studies (participants n=1190) were included. Risk of bias for delirium incidence varied, with several studies judged to have some concerns or high risk of bias. Adherence, cessation and adverse events were inconsistently measured and reported across studies. Three studies assessed circadian outcomes: two reported increased circadian cycle lengths following BLT, while one found no between-group differences. Most studies applied morning BLT at intensities \u22655000\u2009lux for 60\u2013120\u2009min over 3\u20134\u2009days. Meta-analysis demonstrated an uncertain effect of BLT on delirium incidence (RR 0.64, 95%\u2009CI 0.38 to 1.07; p=0.09), with moderate heterogeneity (I\u00b2=52.06%). The certainty of evidence was very low because of risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision and potential publication bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence remains uncertain regarding the effect of BLT on delirium incidence in hospitalised adults.
