About this study

Official title: Impact of Noninvasive Telemonitoring on Clinical Events, Healthcare Resource Use and Costs in Heart Failure

The goal of this clinical trial is to know if telemonitoring and telematic follow-up reduces the healthcare resources utilization, healthcare costs and non-healthcare costs of patients with high-risk heart failure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does telematic follow-up reduce de use of healthcare resource utilization of patients with heart failure?
  • Is telematic follow-up cost-efficient in terms of reducing direct healthcare costs in heart failure patients?
  • Is telematic follow-up cost-efficient in terms of reducing non-healthcare costs in heart failure patients? Participants will be randomized to usual care (control group) or telematic care (interventional group). Patients randomized to the interventional group will be included in a protocol of daily automatic telemonitoring of arterial pressure, peripheral oximetry, heart rate and weight, and telematic consultations lead by a heart failure clinical specialized team.

Researchers will compare the healthcare resource utilization, healthcare and non-healthcare costs of patients randomized to control vs. interventional group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Health care costs

    Sum of the costs for the consumption of medicines, primary care consultations, specialist consultations, hospitalization, emergency care and medical transport.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Non-health care costs

    Sum of informal costs (care provided by people who are not health or social care professionals) and professional costs (home help, tele-health, tele-assistance, ambulatory care centers and use of nursing homes)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Symptoms

    Measured using New York Heart Association dyspnea scale

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Care burden of caregivers

    Measured using Zarit scale (values 0 to 88)

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Number of hospital admissions

    For any cause, cardiovascular and for heart failure.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Mortality

    For any cause and for cardiovascular cause

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Patient satisfaction with service

    Measured using a customer satistaction questionnaire (values 0 to 20), with higer scores meaning

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Adherence to the telemonitoring protocolo

    Number of transmissions made versus planned at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Quality of life variation

    Euroqol-5D-5L questionnaire

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Telemonitoring follow-up using medical devices and telematic consultations in people with Heart Failure, run by Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre at 1 site in Spain.

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 18 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Juan Carlos López-Azor García, MD, PhD (+34628026462, lopez.gcia.juan.carlos@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Health care costs (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Nov 2024.
