Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of mobile phone APP in self-management of asthma patients through comprehensive and systematic retrieval of relevant research at home and abroad, so as to provide evidence-based basis for asthma health management.Methods:We retrieved PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China Biomedical Literature Service System, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP, WanFang Data, and manually searched unpublished literature to collect the randomized controlled trial (RCT) related to the self-management of asthma patients using mobile phone APP published from January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2022. Two researchers independently screened, evaluated literature and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RevMan 5.3 was used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 10 articles were included, including 6 in English and 4 in Chinese, and 990 patients were included, including 494 in the test group and 496 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of emergency visits and forced expiratory volume in one second ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In the self-management of asthma patients, the use of mobile phone APP can improve the lung function of asthma patients and the consumption of medical resources to a certain extent compared with conventional intervention, but the role of other aspects such as asthma control and quality of life still needs to be further verified.
