The primary outcome measure included quality of life, anxiety, and depression state. The tools of Cochrane\u2019s risk-of-bias were used to assess bias risks. Then, the fixed effect or the random effect model was applied in the meta-analysis. Continuity variables were expressed as standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI), while dichotomous variables were presented as relative risk (RR) and its 95% CI. Finally, sensitivity and publication bias were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twelve randomized controlled trials involving 1,246 participants were included. Continuity of patient care significantly improved quality of life (including inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire and 36-item Short Form Health Status Survey), as well as the anxiety (SMD = \u22121.98, 95% CI [\u22122.40 to \u22121.55],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.00001) and depression (SMD = \u22121.82, 95% CI [\u22122.67 to \u22120.98],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001) levels of IBD patients.

This meta-analysis provides novel insights into continuity of patient care in the field of IBD. Healthcare workers should practice continuity in patient care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease to improve the quality of life and anxiety and depression. Due to extremely high heterogeneity, we lowered the evidence to a moderate quality level.<\/jats:p>\n
