Abstract

The effects of disease management using telemonitoring for patients with heart failure (HF) remain controversial. Hence, we embedded care coordination and enhanced collaborative self-management through interactive communication via a telemonitoring system (collaborative management; CM). This study evaluated whether CM improved psychosocial status and prevented rehospitalization in patients with HF in comparison with self-management education (SM), and usual care (UC).We randomly allocated 59 patients into 3 groups; UC (n = 19), SM (n = 20), and CM (n = 20). The UC group received one patient education session, and the SM and CM groups participated in disease management programs for 12 months. The CM group received telemonitoring concurrently. All groups were followed up for another 12 months. Data were collected at baseline and at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.The primary endpoint was quality of life (QOL). Secondary endpoints included self-efficacy, self-care, and incidence of rehospitalization. The QOL score improved in CM compared to UC at 18 and 24 months (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences among the 3 groups in self-efficacy and self-care. However, compared within each group, only the CM had significant changes in self-efficacy and in self-care (P < 0.01). Rehospitalization rates were high in the UC (11/19; 57.9%) compared with the SM (5/20; 27.8%) and CM groups (4/20; 20.0%). The readmission-free survival rate differed significantly between the CM and UC groups (P = 0.020).We conclude that CM has the potential to improve psychosocial status in patients with HF and prevent rehospitalization due to HF.

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.
