"This was a systematic review of studies published before March 24, 2023, that have investigated outcomes after PHR. This study followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for self-reporting. This review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023422770).
