The association between wearable device metrics and clinical outcomes in oncology: a systematic review with evidence synthesis and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND:The emerging study of wearable devices (WDs) in patients with cancer provides opportunities to harness real-time patient data for predicting clinical outcomes. We conducted a systematic review with best evidence synthesis to examine the association between WD metrics and clinical outcomes in patients with cancer. METHODS:MEDLINE and Embase were searched from inception until June 2022. Risk of bias assessment and best evidence synthesis were performed and, If possible, meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS:A total of 34 studies was included. We found moderate-to-strong evidence for associations between circadian rest-activity metrics and OS. Disrupted I更多
