| Abstract: | Purpose: Heart failure is a global health concern and associated with poor health-related quality of life and increased mortality. There is a disproportionate burden on patients and health systems in low- and middle-income countries. This systematic review and meta-analysis estimates the health-related quality of life of people with heart failure in low- and middle-income countries. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies from January 2012 to November 2022 using the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus and JBI EBP database. Study screening, quality appraisal and data extraction were conducted using JBI methodology. A random-effects model was used to perform the meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. All statistical analyses were done in STATA version 17. Results: A total of 33 studies with 5612 participants were included in this review. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and the Short-Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36) were the most used instruments across 19 and 8 studies, respectively. The pooled mean MLHFQ and SF-36 scores using the random-effects model were 46.08 (95% CI 35.06, 57.10) and 41.23 (95% CI 36.63, 45.83), respectively. In a subgroup analysis using both instruments, the highest health-related quality-of-life scores occurred in studies with inpatient participants. Conclusion: The overall health-related quality of life of people with heart failure in low- and middle-income countries is poor. Strategies should be strategically developed to improve the health-related quality of life of people with heart failure in these countries. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42022377781.
