Number of studies | Comparison | Original effect size*(95% CI) | New effect size*(95% CI) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Readmission to hospital | 12 | CCT vs no CCT | −0·14 (−0·41 to 0·14) | −0·12 (−0·41 to 0·17) |
Readmission to hospital | 11 | Before vs after CCT | 0·80 (0·53 to 1·08) | 0·59 (0·34 to 0·84) |
Use of community services | 3 | Before vs after CCT | 0·87 (0·42 to 1·33) | 1·02 (0·54 to 1·51) |
Analysis was only done for outcome measures that were identified as the primary outcome measure in three or more studies. CCT=compulsory community treatment.
