Randomized trial compares different home-based pulmonary rehabilitation models in COPD, suggesting model selection should match patient needs.

This research aims to compare the efficacy and safety of various home-based pulmonary rehabilitation models for patients with COPD.
Systematic search of multiple databases for RCTs involving adults with COPD up to May 1, 2025.
Conducted frequentist random-effects network meta-analysis using Stata 15.0 to synthesize evidence.
Assessed risk of bias with RoB 2.0 tool and registered protocol on PROSPERO.
Telerehabilitation and traditional home-based rehabilitation improved 6MWT scores versus usual care.
Telerehabilitation significantly reduced anxiety and depression scores compared to usual care and self-management model.
Ranking showed traditional home-based model had the lowest adverse event likelihood among home-based models.
