CRD SUMMARY:

The review assessed whether nurse-led case management was beneficial for complex patients with multiple comorbidities. The interventions improved patient satisfaction, had no effect on emergency department visits and there was insufficient evidence regarding the effect on readmission rates or other outcomes. The review was limited by heterogeneity between studies, but the results are likely to be reliable.
