Key result
Mobile phone-based self-management interventions significantly reduced diastolic blood pressure (MD -1.99; 95% CI -3.20 to -0.78; P=0.0001) but not systolic blood pressure or medication adherence.
Why the study?
The study aimed to synthesise and evaluate the effectiveness of mobile phone-based self-management interventions for medication adherence and blood pressure change in patients with coronary heart disease.

May support diastolic BP control in CHD patients; extends mobile intervention evidence but leaves adherence and systolic BP effects open.
Meta-Analysis
Do mobile phone-based self-management interventions improve medication adherence and reduce blood pressure in patients with coronary heart disease?
Mean Difference: -1.99 (95% CI -3.2–-0.78)
p-value: p=0.0001
Mobile phone-based self-management interventions in patients with coronary heart disease significantly reduce diastolic blood pressure but do not show statistically significant improvements in medication adherence or systolic blood pressure.
Sua et al. (2019) conducted a meta-analysis in Coronary heart disease. Mobile phone-based self-management interventions was evaluated on Change in diastolic blood pressure (MD -1.99, 95% CI -3.20 to -0.78, p=0.0001). Mobile phone-based self-management interventions significantly reduced diastolic blood pressure (MD -1.99; 95% CI -3.20 to -0.78; P=0.0001) but not systolic blood pressure or medication adherence.
