Association of patient-centred remote monitoring with clinical outcomes in patients with prior hospitalization: the TELESAT PRIOR-HF study
- Prespecified secondary analysis of the TELESAT-HF study
- prespecified sub-analysis
- weighted controls
- French national health database
Authors' conclusion
Among patients recently hospitalized for HF, participation in a non-invasive RMP was associated with lower mortality, fewer HF rehospitalizations, less time spent in hospital, and a broadly cost-neutral profile.
