“…RESULTS: The final sample included 16 studies involving 3344 patients from nine countries; Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, Kenya, India, South Africa, Philippines, Russia, and Uzbekistan. Based on a random-effects model, we observed a higher treatment success rate in community-based treatment (Point estimate = 0.68, 95 % CI: 0.59 to 0.76, p < 0.01) compared to traditional hospitalization (Point estimate = 0.57, 95 % CI: 0.44 to 0.69, p < 0.01). …”
