Objective:
To examine the dose-response associations between total physical activity, different intensity of physical activity, and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods And Analysis:
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library will be searched from inception to June 2022. Only cohort studies assessing physical activity associations with all-cause mortality among CKD patients will be considered for inclusion. The quality of included cohort studies will be evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The robust error meta-regression (REMR) model will be used to establish dose-response relationships between physical activity and mortality. Additional statistical analysis including Egger's test, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis. The strengths of evidence will be evaluated with the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach.
Ethics And Dissemination:
Ethics approval is not required as no private information from individuals is collected.
