Systematic review of studies on telemonitoring of patients with congestive heart failure: a meta-analysis
Abstract
We conducted a systematic review of large, well-conducted randomised trials designed to evaluate the effectiveness of telemonitoring on patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Two people reviewed 125 articles independently and selected 13 articles for final review. These studies concerned 3480 patients. The follow-up period of the studies was 3–15 months. Pooled estimate results showed that there was an overall reduction in all-cause mortality ( P = 0.02). There was no overall reduction in all-cause hospital admission ( P = 0.84), although there was a reduction in CHF hospital admission ( P = 0.0004). There was no reduction in all-cause emergency admission ( P = 0.67). There was no significant difference in length of stay in hospital, medication adherence or cost. Telemonitoring in conjunction with nurse home visiting and specialist unit support can be effective in the clinical management of patients with CHF and help to improve their quality of life.

“Another review which focused on telemonitoring, pooled results for chronic heart failure from six studies for all cause hospital admission did not find a reduction for this outcome (risk ratio 1.0, 95% C.I. 0.9 to 1.0) [45].”

“However, for telemonitoring for chronic heart failure related hospital admission there was a significant reduction (risk ratio 0.7, 95% C.I. 0.6 to 0.9).”

“In another review which specifically only included trial arms that compared telemonitoring to usual care and excluded arms with nurse only support or telephone support, reviewers also found a reduction in all-cause mortality based on 10 studies, relative risk 0.8 (95% C.I. 0.6 to 1.0) [45]”

“A 1-star weighted meta-analysis of telemonitoring for heart failure (excluding telephone interventions) showed a significant reduction in mortality and heart failure admissions, but not all-cause admissions or emergency department visits [57].”
In the citing paper
“For both of these conditions, however, findings were inconsistent between reviews, and analyses of similar interventions reached different conclusions [25,55,57].”
In the citing paper
“while three reviews did not provide any information at all about the included interventions [36,39-40].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
