Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Effect of Bedside vs. Non-bedside Patient Case Presentation During Ward Rounds: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Ward rounds are important for communicating with patients, but it is unclear whether bedside or non-bedside case presentation is the better approach. ⋯ We found no differences in patient-relevant outcomes between bedside and non-bedside case presentations with a lack of statistical power among current trials. There is a need for larger studies to find the optimal approach to patient case presentation during ward rounds.
