Multidisciplinary rehabilitation in persons with multiple trauma: a systematic review
journal contribution
posted on 2020-11-12, 02:21 authored by Reem Al Hanna, Bhasker Amatya, Luis Cofre LizamaLuis Cofre Lizama, Mary P Galea, Fary KhanOBJECTIVE:To determine the effectiveness of multidisciplinary rehabilitation in improving functional and psychological outcomes in person with multiple trauma. DATE SOURCES:A comprehensive literature review was conducted using medical and health science electronic databases up to February 2019. DATA EXTRACTION:Two independent reviewers selected studies, extracted data and assessed study quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklists and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE). DATA SYNTHESIS:One randomized controlled trial, 1 clinical controlled trial and 4 observational studies (1 with 2 reports) were included. Qualitative analysis was used to synthesize the evidence due to the heterogeneity of included trials. The quality of the studies varied (CASP approach); the majority were of "low quality". The findings suggest "very low to moderate" evidence (GRADE) for the effectiveness of multidisciplinary rehabilitation in improving functional ability and participation. The majority of studies (n = 6) reported functional improvements after multidisciplinary rehabilitation in the short-term. CONCLUSION:The lack of "high-quality" evidence for multidisciplinary rehabilitation in improving outcomes following trauma highlights gaps in the available evidence, signifying the need for more robust studies.
