Sensitivity analysis |
Pooled impact of mobility strategies on mobility outcome (SMD, 95% CI) |
In‐hospital trials |
Primary analysis, all trials, random‐effects meta‐analysis |
SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.96; participants = 507; studies = 7; I2 = 81% |
Sensitivity analysis 1, removing trials with unclear or high risk of bias on allocation concealment |
SMD 0.58, 95% CI 0.05 to 1.10; participants = 415; studies = 6; I2 = 84% |
Sensitivity analysis 2, removing trials with high risk of bias on any items |
SMD 0.57, 95% CI ‐0.46 to 1.61; participants = 191; studies = 2; I2 = 87% |
Sensitivity analysis 3, removing trials reported only in conference abstracts |
No studies removed |
Sensitivity analysis 4, removing trials that did not clearly focus on or predominantly include the target population of people with a fragility fracture resulting from low‐energy trauma |
No studies removed |
Sensitivity analysis 5, removing trials that included mixed populations |
No studies removed |
Sensitivity analysis 6, removing in‐hospital trials that measured outcomes at the end of the in‐hospital phase (the usual time point was that closest to four months). |
SMD 0.39, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.78; participants = 327; studies = 4; I2 = 62% |
Sensitivity analysis 7, all trials, fixed‐effects meta‐analysis |
SMD 0.38, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.56; participants = 507; studies = 7; I2 = 81% |
