About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Program to Help Return Home Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure, in a Cohort of Patients From the Hôpital Paris Saint-Joseph
The prevalence of heart failure is very high worldwide is between 1 and 2% in developed countries.
The French Federation of Cardiology estimates that a million people are affected in France. Each year in France, there are nearly 70,000 deaths linked to heart failure, and more than 150,000 hospitalizations with an average cumulative duration per year of 12.7 days, figures which show the extent of the phenomenon. Heart failure is therefore a common pathology, which constitutes an important public health issue. It requires rigorous monitoring and early adaptation of treatments to avoid repeated hospitalizations. Studies show that following hospitalization for heart failure, all-cause re-hospitalization rates rise to 18% within 30 days. In 2019, the rate of re-hospitalization at 1 year is 30%, half of which in the following 3 months. The prognosis is grim with 20 to 30% of deaths within the year.

The European Society of Cardiology recommends that the patient be integrated into a care path coordinated by the general practitioner; and a consultation with his general practitioner in the week after hospitalization and his cardiologist within two weeks. The CPAM (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie) has set up since 2013 the PRADO-IC program (Program for Return to Home Hospital for Heart Failure). This program must be in place before discharge from hospital. A health insurance advisor comes to meet the patient, declared eligible for PRADO by the hospital medical team, to present the offer and collect his approval before discharge. He then contacts the attending physician and organizes his return home. A follow-up book is given to the patient to allow better transmission of information between town and hospital.
A specially trained nurse visits the patient's home every week. The duration of PRADO support varies according to the NYHA stage of severity. It provides therapeutic education with reinforcement of hygieno-dietetic rules, warning signs, checks compliance with treatments and the necessary biological monitoring and must alert the attending physician in the event of aggravation.
The objectives of this program are: to preserve the quality of life and the autonomy of patients, to support the reduction of the length of stay in hospital, to strengthen the quality of care in town around the attending physician, improve the efficiency of recourse to hospitalization by reserving the heaviest structures for the patients who need them most.
Read the detailed description
The prevalence of heart failure is very high worldwide: according to the European Society of Cardiology, it is between 1 and 2% in developed countries.
The French Federation of Cardiology estimates that a million people are affected in France. This prevalence increases sharply with age, reaching 15% of people aged 85 and over.
Each year in France, there are nearly 70,000 deaths linked to heart failure, and more than 150,000 hospitalizations with an average cumulative duration per year of 12.7 days, figures which show the extent of the phenomenon. In addition, the aging of the population and the explosion of cardiovascular risk factors suggest that the impact of heart failure will be greater in the future.
Heart failure is therefore a common pathology, which constitutes an important public health issue. It requires rigorous monitoring and early adaptation of treatments to avoid repeated hospitalizations. Studies show that following hospitalization for heart failure, all-cause re-hospitalization rates rise to 18% within 30 days. According to a report from the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie (CPAM) in 2019, the rate of re-hospitalization at 1 year is 30%, half of which in the following 3 months. The prognosis is grim with 20 to 30% of deaths within the year.
The European Society of Cardiology recommends that the patient be integrated into a care path coordinated by the general practitioner; and a consultation with his general practitioner in the week after hospitalization and his cardiologist within two weeks. But general practitioners deplore a lack of coordination between city and hospital with difficulties in taking care of their patient following hospitalization. According to the CPAM report, only 30% of re-hospitalized patients had contact with a cardiologist before their readmission, and 15% of patients had no contact with the health care system within 2 months of followed their hospitalization.
It is in this need to improve monitoring that the CPAM has set up since 2013 the PRADO-IC program (Support Program for Return to Home Hospital for Heart Failure). This program must be in place before discharge from hospital. A health insurance advisor comes to meet the patient, declared eligible for PRADO by the hospital medical team, to present the offer and collect his approval before discharge. He then contacts the attending physician and organizes his return home. A follow-up book is given to the patient to allow better transmission of information between town and hospital.
A specially trained nurse (internet training) visits the patient's home every week. The duration of PRADO support varies according to the NYHA stage of severity: a patient in NYHA stage I or II benefits from home support for a period of 2 months, and 6 months for NYHA stages III and IV. It should make it possible to monitor the constants: blood pressure, pulse, and weight. It provides therapeutic education with reinforcement of hygieno-dietetic rules (low sodium diet), warning signs (orthopnea, cough, dyspnea), checks compliance with treatments and the necessary biological monitoring and must alert the attending physician in the event of aggravation.
The objectives of this program are: to preserve the quality of life and the autonomy of patients, to support the reduction of the length of stay in hospital, to strengthen the quality of care in town around the attending physician, improve the efficiency of recourse to hospitalization by reserving the heaviest structures for the patients who need them most.
The main objective of this study is therefore to assess the impact of the PRADO program on re-hospitalization at 1 year, at Paris Saint-Joseph hospital for heart failure.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Impact of the PRADO program on re-hospitalization at 1 year (time frame: Year 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04613973, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Aug 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
