Summary of Findings	The letter authors note that they are aware of an eligible study that was not included in the review. They also recommend that a fixed-effect model should have been used instead of a random-effects model due to the result of the test for heterogeneity. Finally they find the assessment of mental health-related quality of life (mental HRQoL) to be insufficient and could have been explored further by conducting a subgroup analysis.
