Abstract Aims Fluid accumulation is associated with poor outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). After acute HF, HF nurses provide home care suggestions based on oedema status assessed at outpatient clinics. However, the pattern of serial oedema changes and their associations with patient outcomes are unknown.
Participants in the intervention group received a 6-week nurse-led CSM of Self-Regulation-based self-care program and usual care. Outcomes of interest were measured at baseline, 6 weeks (T1), and 3 months (T2) after enrollment. Control group participants only received the usual care.
Shared themes included the purpose of the clinic appointment, problems in the ‘hub-and-spoke’ care system, role of the general practitioner and ACHD specialist nurse, communication with patients, burden of ambulatory care and patient self-management.
We investigated whether the nurse navigator (NN) can bridge the gap in delayed communication between neurology, cardiology, and atrial fibrillation treatment.Methods:Using a prospectively maintained Comprehensive Stroke Center database, we reviewed our ischemic stroke patients with implantable loop recorders from January 2024 to July 2024.
We aimed to determine factors contributing to patient attendance at neurology appointments and its impact on 90-day outcomes and readmissions.Methods:Retrospective analysis on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with care coordinated by a nurse navigator from 7 hospitals (January 2021-March 2024). p<0.001.
Aims Heart failure (HF) is associated with comorbidities which independently influence treatment response and outcomes. Methods Patients acted as their own controls, with outcomes compared for equal periods (for each patient) pre (HF MDT) versus post-MDT (multispecialty) meeting. Results 334 patients (mean age 72.5±11
Background:The Addressing Sleep Apnea Post-Stroke/TIA (ASAP) clinical trial aimed to enhance OSA management at six VA medical centers through a hybrid implementation trial, requiring coordination across hospital medicine, sleep medicine, nursing, and neurology in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
In Latin America, Guatemala ranks low in terms of health outcomes, and holds one of the highest infant mortality rates (24.5 Since the establishment, over 1300 surgeries have been performed, with over 20,000 patients seen in the outpatient clinic. per 1,000 live births) and one of the lowest life expectancies at birth in the Region.
The new scientific statement, “Use of Artificial Intelligence in Improving Outcomes in Heart Disease,” comes amid intense attention on AI as a way to improve cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment. In some cases, wearable devices may help reduce disparities in care and may help improve wellness.
Our primary outcome was post-discharge LTFU, defined as having zero post-discharge encounters within 12 months. Our secondary outcomes included having one or more outpatient visits with a provider, unplanned hospitalizations, and emergency department (ED) visits within 30 days post-discharge. vs. 40.7%).
Outpatients with HF (N=17) were randomly assigned to either the intervention (n=11) or the control (n=6) groups using a 2:1 ratio. Outpatients with HF (N=17) were randomly assigned to either the intervention (n=11) or the control (n=6) groups using a 2:1 ratio. respectively), with a significant increase in sleep duration (3.0
Our findings support that black race is an independent predictor of recurrent stroke in patients with PSD and highlight the need to address social determinants of health and systemic racism that impact poststroke outcomes among racial minorities.
The trial will enroll ~760 patients with New York Heart Association class II or III HF with recent hospitalization for HF or needing intravenous diuretics in the outpatient setting or elevated natriuretic peptide levels, who do not have an implanted cardiac implantable electronic device or haemodynamic monitor.
more nurses and health visitors, and 18.5% more outpatient appointments and 0.8% By the way, clinical output means activities such as, seeing a patient in accident and emergency, or in the outpatient department. Yet, they are creating no additional clinical outcomes. A nurse must also accompany you, to ensure that … what?
