Effects of digital health interventions on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Overview
This meta-analysis reviews 15 randomized controlled trials involving 2018 colorectal cancer patients to evaluate the impact of digital health interventions on anxiety, depression, and quality of life. The study reports pooled data suggesting potential reductions in anxiety and depression alongside improvements in quality of life compared to control conditions. However, the authors note that evidence certainty is low due to substantial heterogeneity among the included trials.
