While we planned to perform meta-analyses on adherence to treatment and hospital admissions, these analyses were not applicable since <2 trials reported data on these aspects. Analysis on level of functioning was not performed due to the scales not being comparable. Analysis on adherence/usage of medicine was not performed due to only two studies reporting this area with one of the studies reporting data not compatible with review manager. The outcomes were therefore included in the narrative synthesis.
